SURVIVORS OF OCEAN ORDEAL.—The three Cook Islanders who survived a 2000-mile, foodless drift across the Pacific are recovering in hospital at Vila, in the New Hebrides. This photograph shows the men being examined by Dr. R. Greenaugh, formerly of Auckland, after their arrival at Vila. From left are Toka Tuhe, Teo Makimare (captain of the Te Aroa, in which the men drifted for two months), and Tupou Papai. Three members of the crew died at sea, and another died from exhaustion after being rescued.
