In the breakers. According to eye
witnesses all those who were able to

crawled out of the swirling water onto
the beach. With both hands engaged,
he had waged desperate battle, but
had refused to release either one of
the children to assure his reaching the
shore. Blood was streaming down his
face from where piece of wreckage
had hit him.
There's woman out there. I'm GO

into the darkness.
He never returned and the sea has
not yet given up his body.
