Show Fisherman Clings to Mast 26 Hours; Rescued by Liner VANCOUVER, B. C- Fisherman Patrick Kelly, 41, was rescued from his slowly sinking boat after clinging cling-ing to the mast for 26 hours. When the Canadian Pacific steamer Princess Elaine rescued Kelly only six feet of the mast was-above was-above water. The 31-foot boat had been swamped by heavy breakers 10 miles northwest of here. "I don't think my boat would have stayed afloat much longer," Kelly saiai "I prayed to God that somebody would see me before I went down. "I lived all my overseas experiences experi-ences again. I thought, 'Well, maybe may-be I didn't get it overseas, but I'm going to get it now.' " Kelly landed in Normandy on D day. |
