DAYS WITHOUT FOOD
THREE MEN IN WHALEBOAT LOCATED BY PLANE ADRIFT FOR 56 HOURS SYDNEY, Tuesday. The whaleboat Felix, which had been missing since Sunday * was located near Port Stephens by the pilot of a National Airways air liner en route to Brisbane. Advice was sent to Newcastle, from which port a pilot steamer was sent up the coast and brought the Felix back. The three men in the craft were in the last stages of exhaustion. They had been adrift 56 hours and their food had all gone. The castaways had tried in vain to attract attention. Their engine broke down on Sunday night and they could not start it again.
