SURVIVOR FOUND
Small Girl On Raft
(N-Z.P.A.-Retrter'—Copyright) MIAMI, Nov. 17. A little blonde girl who survived the sinking of a Luxury yacht in a Bahamas squall last Sunday was found bobbing alone on a raft in the Atlantic yesterday. She was in a deep sleep, and near death. The child 11-year-old Terry Jo Dupperault, was picked up by a passing merchant vessel which chanced upon the small white raft. She was thrown into the sea with six other persons, including her parents and her brother and sister, when the ketch Blue Bel went down during a tropical squall. Only one other person is known to have survived —the ketch’s captain, 45-year-old Julian Harvey. A Coast Guard helicopter later met the merchant vessel at sea. lowered a basket to the deck, and rushed the girl to the grounds of Miami’s Mercy Hospital.
