way the nine natives composing the
crew OF the 8O-ton schooner Oromana
characterize their escape from death.
after having drifted helplessly 30 days
on one Of the loneliest bits OF ocean
in the seven seas.
When the wreck of the Oromana
was towed into Papeete harbor, Tahiti,
one Of the most remarkable voyages
known in these waters was completed.
The vessel, q two-masted schooner.
owned by natives Of Rimatara, an
island about 300 miles southwest OF
Tahiti, left her home port, without
cargo, bound for the island Of Rurutu.
In the same group. where she was to
undergo repairs and take cargo OF
copra for Tahiti.
Two days out, she was struck BY a
storm, which carried away both her
masts and later her rudder, leaving
her a helpless derelict
With never a glimpse Of land or sail
to give a ray Of hope, the Oromana
drifted for so days. After Is days the
supply Of food was gone. The natives
managed to catch q shark with hook
and line. This lasted them five days.
The rest Of the time they had no food.
An occasional shower prevented death
from thirst.
Then the miracle" happened. The
mountains of Tahiti rose slowly over
the horizon. The shifting sea current
brought them nearer and nearer until
they were finally sighted from SHORE
and a powerboat sent to tow them in.
They were too weak to rise to their
feet, but, after a few days ashore all
appeared to be rapidly recovering from
their experience.
The natives say the hand Of God
guided their craft, for the prevailing
winds in these ATTITUDES are from the
northwest, a direction which would
never have brought them to Tahiti.
