A 32 foot raft carrying Captain J P Smith and crew faced rough seas off San Simeon as a relief party prepared to embark with fuel and a new radio. Dr Fearon of the University of San Francisco urged Smith to disembark due to illness and a bad cold while Fearon’s son Grosvanor rode as a crewman aboard.
