Aged Mariner Recounts Pacific Ordeal and Survival
Eli S. Kelly, 69, told a coroner's jury how he and companion James S. McKinley, 63, drifted for more than eight days in a 21 foot boat off California. McKinley died of thirst and exposure after Kelly ate strips of his flesh. Kelly was exonerated of responsibility.
