WEEKS wr !UT FOOD OR DRINK On the Fourteenth Day Wallace’s Strength Gave Cut and He Sank Beneath the Waves—Clcen Was Finally Picked Up. Santa Barbara, Cal., Jan. 14.— Adrift on a capsized boat in tlie Pa cific ccaan 17 days without food or drink was the terrible experience of Captain Harry Olsen and Pete Wal lace, two crab fishermen, and but one lives to tell the story of their terrible sufferings. Olsen was picked up by Arthur Valdez, a fisherman, just be yond the Kelp off Goleta. Ha was more dead than alive, but was able to a staunch gasoline schooner, which he and Wallace used in cruising about the fishing grounds. Olsen and Wallace were residents of San Pedro and left the port 17 days ago. While cruising several miles south of Santa Cruz island a heavy sea rose and capsized their craft Clinging to the capsized boat, without food or water, they drifted, suffering tortures. On the fourteenth day Wal lace’s strength gave out, and crazed and starving, he slid off the boat and dis appeared under the waters. For three days longer Olsen held on and was finally rescued, half dead from exhaus tion. by Valdez. It is thought that he will recover from the effects of his terrible experience.
