UNEXPECTED VISITORS REFUGEES ' RESCUE FROM THE HIGH SEAS While sailing the waters off the Ciulf of Thailand, a small host was sighted on the starboard bow. After close observa- tion, it was discovered that the inhabitants were thirteen Vietnamese refugees, ten males and three females. They had been at sea for four days with only one gallon of fuel, one gallon of fresh water and two cups of rice. They were relieved to see us and were taken aboard, cleaned up and given medi- cation, food, clean clothes and a place to sleep. As the days passed, their conditions improved. It was a warm sunny day, around the 30th of April, as the ship moved lazily through the South China Sea when an- other boat as sighted. This boat had twenty people on board, sixteen adults and four children. The boat was twelve feet in length which had been at sea for ten days, six of those days were spent without food. These refugees were taken care of in the same manner as the others. After about four days, the children were up and running around, getting into mischief just as any other child would do. They would run up and down the corridors, investigating anything that they were curious about. As for the crew, they all took to the children with great enthusiasm. They would slip them fruits from the galley and did other things that the children enjoyed. The refugees didn ' t speak any English, but they usually got the message across of what was needed. The third and final rescue took place while on a voyage to Hong Kong; when a twenty-five foot boat was spotted and was later found to have on board twenty-two people who had been out there for five days without food or water. These refugees also were taken care of by means of proper care and medication for the sick and needy. When these people came aboard, they were in a more serious state of condition than any of the other refugees that we had picked up. Many of them thought that they wouldn ' t make it; and some of them took longer to come around. A week later, they were doing much better and eventually all the refugees were turned over to the Hong Kong Immigration Officials and homes were found for them.
