Number
6 is all alone aboard his raft in the Atlantic Ocean , he set sail on February 22nd. Alone during
the long days, and alone during the even longer nights. He’s out there now if
you care to think about him, managing to get four hours sleep out of each
twenty-four. When Number 6 is asleep, if he is actually asleep and not just
dozing, who is steering the raft? He has no drift anchor to hold his course against
tide, wind, and currents. What a time he must be having, cold, no hot food,
only cold food out of tins. Anyway I have spared him a thought, that man all
alone on a small raft in a very big ocean. Cold, tired, it won’t be long before
he begins to suffer from exposure and exhaustion. He could collapse at any
moment!
Be seeing you
