Tangier sound for eighteen hours,
James ODOnnell, one of a crew of six
thought to have been drowned after
the rescue of the other five members

a remarkable experience, and he owes
his life to the fact that when the YES

able air was compressed into the hull,
and this enabled him to breathe and
remain alive, although trapped like a
rat.
The accident occurred just off Deals
Island One of the heavy rollers hit
the little vessel, and in a few moments
it capsized. All of those on board.
with the exception of ODOnnell, were
able to jump off before the boat over
turned O'DOnnell was in the fore
peak, and when the vessel captized
found himself in prison.
All of the other members of the
crew chung to the sides of the over
turned boat until they were rescued.

of the crew went out to his vessel tn
see about the damage and attempted
to turn her over. After hard work
they finally succeeded. and to their
establishment they found O'Donnell in
the forepeak of the boat. He was in a
very weak condition when rescued and
could have held out very little longer.
