Amateur Sailors
Rescued from Raft
SAN FRANCISCO, UP) — Five
wet and weary amateur sailors
who had hoped to drift to Hawaii
were picked up from their found
ering powerless raft 60 miles off
central California early Thursday.
The freighter S. S. Metapan
radioed that all of the men had
been rescued despite high seas
and strong winds.
The Metapan, which located the
tiny yellow raft, Lehi, 62 miles
due west of Point Sal, said it was
heading for San Francisco, about
1175 miles away.
Search for the fragile raft
which put out from San Francisco
.last Friday ended off Morro Bay
8 hours and 25 minutes after the
Coast Guard answered an urgent
SOS that the craft was sinking.
The Lehi was manned by five
amateurs who set out from San
Francisco Friday hoping to drift
2,000 miles southwest to Hawaii.
Skippered by Devere Baker, a
Mormon preacher, they took no
food or water. They hoped to
catch fish and to use a solar still
to make sea water drinkable.
