Five Fishermen Blown
To Bleak Pacific Isle
Saved After 6 Weeks
BY the As.oeioted Press

SAN DIEGO, Calf, June 30
Five weary and sun -blackened Cali
fornia fishermen, blown 1000 miles
off their course, were en- route back
10 civilization today after six weeks
of near starvation on desolate
Pacific island of the Mexican coast.
The five fishermen, missing with
the 45-foot boat Thistle out OF San
Pedro since May 19, we're rescued
late Saturday by the tuna clipper
Normandie from Clipperton Island,
a 5-square- e-mile coral atoll, about
LOO miles south of here and 500
miles from the Mexican mainland.
First word from rescuers to the
Coast Guard and Navy here in
'dicated the men were in fair con-
dition," but did not elaborate. The
Thistle was shattered on the shor~
but none of the crew was hurt.
Navy Sending Vessel.
The Navy requested the Nor
mandie, San Diego vessel. to take
the fishermen to the Galapagos
Islands, about 1900 miles further
south, and said it was sending a
craft from Panama to pick up the
victims
The Thistle's crew members were
Capt. William Noble, Charles E.
Warren, Gilbert B. Stethe, Robert
Marchall and Walter Richards, all
of San Pedro.
Veteran fishermen said the boat
probably was caught in "chu-
basco" storm, the equivalent of a
cyclone at sea" and described
tropical Clipperton as "a very bad
spot, anytime"
M J. Gorby. president of the
California Marine Curing & Pack
ing Co., Terminal Island, expressed
amazement at the position of the
wreck He said the Thistle's normal
cruising range was about 700 miles
and that she must have blown the
rest of the way out of control"
Lucky to Be Found.
The consensus was that the men
were very lucky" to be discov-
cred, as Clipperton is we'll off usual
shipping lanes. with virtually moth
ing to sustain life except few
wild pigs and coconuts. There is
no fresh water unless it rains, and
some of the fish in the area are
poisonous, it was said.
Every man in the tuna fleet
knows about Clipperton and avoids
It," Bob Alcott, veteran tuna fish,
erman, said. The Navy had a sea-
plane base there during the war.
France once claimed the island,
but between the two world wars
1t was deserted
