MarOOned Crew
Resc ued From
Des ert Island
by United Press Leased Wire

SAN PEDRO, April 3.-After
having been marooncd on q desert
island for a month, where they an
chored their disabled craft, six
shark fishermen were back in port
today with an epic of struggle
for life.
About the middle of February the
fishing boat Blue Sea put out under
II. w. Crickmer, owner, for the
south coast to hunt sharks. The
hides Of the fish were sought for
tanning.
A lost propeller forced the craft
to drift for days. Finally Cricker
and the crew Of five men brought
the ship to anchor off Madre Maria
Island, of the Tres Marias group.
For 50 days the crew subsisted on
meagre provisions from the ship and
from fish they were able to catch.
AS their provisions ran low they
faced starvation or 4 dangerous
dash to The mainland.
Loading their remaining supplies
into small open boat from the
Blue Sea the six started eastward.
After rowing 80 miles they came
to an island on which was located
a Mexican prison camp.
The radio was brought into use
and q ship was sent to repair the
Blue Sea.
