Olsen and Wallace were residents of San Pedro and left the port seventeen days ago. While cruising seven miles south of Santa Cruz Island a heavy sea arose and capsized their craft. Clinging to the capsized boat without food or water they dhfted. suffering tortues. On the fourteenth day WaIlace:s strength gave out and crazed and starving, he slid of the boat and disappeared under the wa ter For three days longer Olsen held on and was finally rescued, half dead from exhaustion, by Valdez. It Is thought he will recover from his terrible experience.
