Their car was found deserted at the pier and it was feared that they had perished when climbing the cliffs. Mr. White explains that they were cut off by the tide while walking along the beach. They found a dinghy and tried to row to the pier, but they were swept out to sea. A freighter bound for Buenos Aires picked them up exhausted. Transhipment was impossible, so they were carried on to South America. They lived by doing odd jobs ashore till they were able to work their passage -hw»e.
