FISHERMEN SAVED BY SURFBOARD RlDERS.—Photographs from Sydney taken when three struggling fishermen were rescued by three surf-board riders after a big wave had tossed their launch on to rocky Shark Island, off Cronulla Point (south of Botany Bay). Until help came, the men clung to the wreckage of their boat and sharp pieces of rock. TOP: One of the fishermen hanging on to a rope just before being rescued. BOTTOM: The same man being helped ashore. He and his fellow fishermen were taken to hospital and treated for shock and body cuts. They owe their lives to a sharp-sighted surfer who saw them from a quarter of a mile away.
