During the night he saw the lights of a vessel in the near dis- tance but it was a false hope; she passed him half a mile away, He was not worried about sharks: A lighthouse, two miles from the mainland, acted as a guiding light but he could see the shore faintly He passed near the light but realis- ing that the rocks were too steep to climb he did not attempt to do 40. He was picked up when he had about a mile to go to the mainland. He felt he could have stayed the distance easily.

Never Fear Death-
Ure said, having been so close to death he would never fear it now.

He prayed to his Maker and had faith and now he would never fear death. It was hard to explain his attitude in such a practical atmosphere but
