On December 1 the Volker Freundschaft sailed toward the Black Sea when Ingе Kyuutschick and Göettried Krantohick leaped into the Bosphorus amid a mass exodus of East Germans fleeing via Turkey. A Turkish boat rescued the Krautschicks and other would‑be defectors, while nearby passengers Lelia Henper and Wolfgang Tost also jumped and were recovered by a motor boat and taken to police.

Underground miners win bravery honors at Klerksdorp mine
Marcos Salvador and his guard Neelene Thelani received the miners VC and top Red Cross bravery awards for saving a badly injured man after an underground dynamite blast at Hariehoesfontein Gold Mine. They shielded and moved Steven Keel to safety, applied improvised pressure to bleeding arteries, and ferried him to an underground first aid station before the second charge exploded. The rescue earned them watches from the Chamber of Mines along with a special Anglo-Transvaal commendation.
