It had been over an hour since he had lost voice contact with the other survivors...Reconciling himself to death, he prayed that the end wouldn't come knifing up from beneath to cut him in two...More minutes passed --...It was then that he saw it. A ship with her running lights on and her searchlights stabbing, was heading directly toward him...The ship was all of a sudden almost on top of him. As the knife edge of her bow loomed high above him, the bow wave subsided, yet he could tell that she hadn't stopped. Flinging out his arms and legs, he spread-eagled himself across the bow point of the ship and clung desperately.
