3 REACH ISLAND | AFTER 34 DAYS IN OPEN PACIFIC

Lived 20 Days on Raw Fish After Trip in Tiny Canoe Went Amiss.

PAGO PAGO, Samoa, May 26 (U, P).—Two adventurous Americans who floundered around in the Pacific Ocean for 34 days in a homemade 30-foot canoe today told of watching their food supply dwindle until they had nothing to eat but raw fish, and of sighting land when it seemed that all hope of saving themselves was gone.

A third member of the party which set out from the Hawaiian Islands April 18 was left at the vil-| lage of Aoloau, 12 miles from Pago Pago and on the north side of| Tutuila Islands, the American pos-| session in the Samoan group. His | companions said he was too weak] to accompany them on their hike! across the Step Mountains which divide the island settlements. The two who arrived here yesterday were U. A. Woodbury, 44, of Elsinore, Cal.,, and Don Hall, 25, of Long Beach. Their companion was A. L. Eastman, former quartermaster of the interisland steamer Honolulu. Mr. Hall is a graduate of the Uni-| versity of California.

Ignored Veterans’ Advice

Mr. Eastman, still suffering from| the effects of living 20 days on a| raw fish diet, was left in care of! natives. His condition was not seri- | ous. Mr. Hall and Mr. Woodbury | were anxious to come here where they could advise relatives and friends that they were safe. Although they arrived at Aoloau Tues- | day, they had no communication | facilities at their disposal and were | forced to wait until they got to Pago Pago to tell their story. Against the advice of veteran seamen the three left Hawaii, 2330] miles to the north, on April 19 in their canoe, the Lealealanai. The] Lealealanai, which is equipped with sails, is a hollowed out tree trunk with a rudder-like affair balancing it on the left side. The trio carried food enough for two weeks and a| large sack of mail for stamp col-! lectors. Their immediate destination was Fanning Island, a tiny island which Mr. Hall had believed would be about 10 days sailing from Hawaii.

FREYER MURDER “TRIAL NEAR END

Defense Maintains Michigan City Woman Died of Fall Injuries.

| | MICHIGAN CITY, May 26 (U. P.). | —Defense attorneys began presentation of evidence today in the Su- | perior Court trial of Frank Pete | Freyer, charged with the murder of | Dorothy Hoerner, last March. | They intimated that the defense (testimony would be brief and that | the case might go to the jury by to- | night. | The State rested its case against | Freyer yesterday after testimony of | five police officers and presentation lof bloodstained clothing worn by [Freyer and his alleged victim at the [time of her death. Deputy Sheriff {James Powers identified a statement taken from Freyer in which he said Miss Hoerner had died of injuries received when she fell and struck her head on an iron safe in his kitchen. | Earlier defense attorneys subjected Hilmar Erickson, principal state's witness, to cross-examination after he testified he had seen Freyer strike Miss Hoerner. They said all three had been drunk at the time jand maintained that Erickson’s memory of the occasion was unreliable. Coroner D. G. Bernoske testified that the wounds upon Miss Hoerner's head might have been caused by falling against some object such as the safe mentioned in Freyer's statement.

when overcast skies prevented us from obtaining a shot at the sun and determining our sxact position with sextant,” he said. “For five days we cruised in the vicinity of Fanning and Christmas Islands without once sighting land. Our chronometer stopped and we had to guess at our time when we did sight the sun. Our food and water was exhausted, so we decided to continue to Samoa, which we judged to be 20 days sailing. When there was no wind, we paddled. We managed to obtain 10 gallons of rather brackish water in our sails when we ran into occasional rain squalls. *On the fifth day, when we thought we were about to die for lack of food, we managed to catch a two-pound barracuda (a tasty fish related to the yellow-tail tuna). Three days later we caught a bonita, which is similar to a mackerel in flavor and texture. We ate them raw and they tasted awfully good to us.” Tried to Spear Sharks

The three tried without success to spear sharks. The sharks were too large to be caught with spears. “On the 34th day out of Hawaii, we sighted land dead ahead,” Mr. Hall continued. “We made landfall the next morning in an uninhabited cove. I found two coconuts, which quenched our thirst somewhat. We rested all that day. The next day I walked along the coast for two miles until I found the village of Oaloau. The natives, who! were very friendly, towed our canoe to the village.” :
