Now comes the strangest part Of the
story. After the shipwrecked men had
somewhat recovered from the effects Of
hunger and exposure. one Of them told me
of the storm they had run INTO, which
had completely wrecked their vessel and
left them floating about at the mercy OF
the wind and waves. Their provisions had
all been spoiled and their water casks
