Diet of Seoweed and Raw Fish
Saves Survivors Of Torpedoing

ticularly in Dalbey's mind was the
fine coffee she had.
The young radio operator said six
men were killed when the torpedo
struck his ship last June.
Forty-eight men wedged them
selves into the lifeboat, he said, and
two OF them died at sea. Matted milk
tablets and pemmican, compressed
meat ration, lasted for IT days, being
doled out in small portions.
From then on it was raw fish and
seaweed, Dalbey said, until after
the 29th day when the men reached
an uninhabited island and found
some berries and snails.
They set sail again and reached
a second island where they stayed
short time. After they had reached
third island, a small fishing
schooner spotted them and Miss
Carstairs arrived shortly afterward.
