Six Orange County teen-agers who drifted nearly 19 hours in a small boat were rescued unharmed and taken to Dana Point Harbor. They said the engine on their 19-foot powerboat died more than 20 miles off the coast on the way back from Santa Catalina Island. They are Tim Bush, Robert John Mayer and Carrie Larson, all 17 and all of San Clemente; Valerie Gay, 15, of San Clemente, and Sabrina Clark, 17, and David Curtis, 16, both of San Juan Capistrano. A Coast Guard spokesman said the adult supervisor of the group, all members of Calvary Church in Capistrano Beach, had returned to the mainland earlier because of an injured arm.
