There was nothing to do but drift, so we drifted. And under that casual statement, there lies a world of terror. Those four lads every one of them knew what it meant out to sea. If they were lucky they might be picked up by a passing steamer. But on tbe other hand, it was ail too easy to drift unsighted for days on end, and finally perish of thirst and exposure. We drifted until about 2 a. m., Floyd says, and then the sea began to get rough and we really had something to worry about, for there were mine fields all about the entrance of the harbor and we figured we had drifted into them. The mines were moored 12 feet below the surface, but with the high swells bobbing us up and down, we stood a good chance of hitting one of them. We began holding our breaths." About an hour later, they sighted a blinker light and that was the signal for more panic. It was loo high to be on a ship, says Floyd, so It must have been on a cliff. Were we going to be washed against this cliff? We all prepared for the worst. We put on life preservers and let out the anchor. But the anchor didnt hold. The boat still drifted.
