After the terrible experience of drifting for 30 days on a raft without food or water an 18-year-old Burman boy has been rescued alive by a British steamer. He was the only survivor of a group of fishermen who were blown out to sea at Rangoon. They were carried 900 miles, the boy and two men being alone on the raft. They were eventually picked up in the Bay of Bengal, but only the boy survived.
