Description

The Boat. The most terrible true sea story of World War Two by Walter Gibson. Between Singapore and Ceylon, a ship carrying British civilians and soldiers was torpedoed. Only one lifeboat was floated and into it were packed 135 human beings, all standing upright and all nearly naked, with only a handful of food and water between them. For twenty-eight days the tiny boat drifted helplessly for 1,000 miles, until it grounded on the shores of an island off Sumatra. Of the 135 souls on board at the start, only four had survived; two mad Javanese, a Chinese girl and one white man - Walter Gibson of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, the author of this book. A few loose pages but still holding together.
