MAROONED ON MOUNTAIN After being marooned for five days and five nights on a tiny mountain ledge — with a drop of 300 feet below him — a coloured youth named George Afrika was recently rescued by a party of Cape Town mountaineers. "I spent the whole of the first day shouting for help," Afrika said. "I prayed all the nights, I would not sleep. I knew that if I did sleep I should slip off and be ]ulled.' Five days before George and a friend had left Paarl, in the Western Province, with the intention of walking aeross the Drakenstein Mountains to Worcester. They lost their way in the mist. "We slipped from rock to rock, clutching at bushes," related the rescued youth. "Suddenly I heard a terrific crash and saw my friend hurtling through space." Then he saw the friend's body lying hundreds of feet below him. He was on a ledge 4 feet long by 2 feet wide, and there he had to sit until help came.
