OYSTER BAY, N.Y. (AP) - Police say three bodies pulled out of New York's Long Island Sound after a yacht capsized on the Fourth of July were all children.
   
The children were 12, 11 and 8.
   
Twenty-four other people were rescued.
   
The Coast Guard says the survivors were pulled from the water around 11 p.m. Wednesday, about an hour after the boat went over.
