day at o'clock. After twelve hours at sea IN a
binding gale the two boats. under the captain and
the first officer. made land on Capers Island,
desolato and bare little sand spot. In beaching
the boats both were smashed. and the men were
thrown into the surf. Although almost exhausted
and numb, they managed to scramble beyond the
reach of the waves. What little drinking water
they had lost, together with the biscuits.
There fresh water and little fuel on the
island and no shelter. The captain had few
matches in a metal box IN his pocket. They were
found to be dry. Tearing the seats out OF the
wrecked boats a fire was made under the lee OF 4

possible TO bring in supply. The few dealers
who have stock in their yards complain that they
