L12(2):Life on adesert island
Two men who
recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer.
They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have
it repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly loaded
a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and cans of beer and rowed for a few
miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. There
were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not
prove to be a problem. The men collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy. As
they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. They caught
lobster and fish every day,and, as one of them put it 'ate like kings'. When a passing tankerrescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had toleave.
