E. 66 Days at Sea

A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Bultler, spent sixty-six days in a life-raft（救生艇） in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.

Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Siboney, they met some whales. “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.

For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water – two things which saved their lives.
