Authorities in Pottawattamie County are expected to resume their search at 8-a.m. today, for a boater who went missing Sunday afternoon on Lake Manawa, after the canoe he was in capsized at around 1:45-p.m. Sunday, as the unidentified man and 36-year old Bengamin Ferguson, of Omaha, were maneuvering through an area of ice on the southwest side of the lake, near Boy Scout Island. Council Bluffs Police Sgt. Dave Dawson said the search for the missing man was called-off Sunday night due to darkness.  Authorities know who the man is, but were withholding his name until family members have been notified.

Ferguson was able to swim ashore, but the other man tried to hang on to the tipped over canoe, but slipped under the water. At the time of the accident, the water temperature was around 35 degrees.  Ferguson was taken to Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs hospital for treatment of hypothermia. He was being held overnight for observation.

Council Bluffs Fire Dept. rescue crews searched the lake until 5:30-p.m. Sunday without finding the missing man.
