ight crew members climbed into a five by five foot rubber life raft where they floated helpless for four days and seven hours with little food or water. The captain and three crew members did not emerge from the wreckage and were presumed lost. Although the survivors saw six vessels during their ordeal, only the TORO spotted them. That was at night - the ship saw an SOS signaled with a flashlight.

Those lost were:

Armin Elsaesser, 42, Captain

Vincent Lazarro, 27, Engineer

Barry Duckworth, 29, Carpenter

Nina Schack, 23, Seaman

Someday

I'll take you to Disneyland

We'll go on Mr. Toad's wild ride

And follow him straight to hell

No smell of sulphur

But hell nonetheless

Hell more grotesque than any medieval woodcut

Instead of dramatic demons

A lifeless, shuffling horde

Without souls

Without imagination

Without worth

And beyond redemption
