Frigate Volunteers Aid After Tahiti to Chile Raft Journey
A Chilean frigate rushed to assist five men who departed Tahiti last November aboard a 33 foot bamboo raft that broke up in a storm after six months at sea. Radio messages from the raft were picked up by amateur operators in Chile, France and Switzerland. The crew claimed the raft was breaking up but claimed it could reach Valparaiso under its own power after repairs. The expedition, led by De Wisschop, seeks to prove oceanic travel from Tahiti to Chile is possible, following the Kon Tiki route.

Egg Hatched Of Rare Bird
New Orleans experts watched as Josephine and Crip, the sole captive pair of whooping cranes, hatched a second egg in a nest that could save the species from extinction. The first chick hatched early Sunday, raising the captive population to 40 with one other crane remaining in captivity. Dr George Douglass allowed observers to view from a high powered telescope on a nearby building. The 1955 event marks a rare second hatch for the pair after a prior year setback.
