A
A couple from Miami，Bill and Simone Butler，spent sixtysix days in a liferaft (救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twentyone days after they left Panama in their boat，Simony，they met some whales. “They started to hit the side of the boat，” said Bill，“and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later，the boat was sinking.They jumped into the liferaft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food，biscuits，and bottles of water.They also had a fishingline and a machine to make salt water into drinking water—two things which saved their lives.They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw.Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened.Some sharks came to feed，and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface.I caught them with my hands.”
