Show Jap Child Is Rescued After Floating in Sea WASHINGTON, D. C. - The story of a 13-year-old Japanese girl who spent five days in ship-packed Sai-pan Sai-pan harbor without discovery or apparently ap-parently serious injury was told recently re-cently in a dispatch from Saipan. Yamamoto, as she is known, spent those five days afloat on a life preserver, her lips, face and arms blistered from sunburn. A marine combat correspondent wrote that she was picked up 20 miles at sea. How she happened to be there, he said, has not been explained. "She ignores the war and calmly reads a Japanese version of a Peter Rabbit comic book, while doctors marvel that she is alive," he reported. |
