Months on a lonely Galapagos island survivors’ tale
Survivors of the Norwegian bark Alexander Dubis recount a six month marooning near the Galapagos in the southern Pacific. After protracted calms and failing supplies, the crew abandoned ship on May 8 and landed ten days later on a barren island, living by cactus sap, sea turtle, driftwood fire, and scarce matches. The voyage began in early 1907 with variable winds and dwindling water before sighting the archipelago. The castaways faced thirst, hunger, and isolation as they struggled to reach land and survive the isolation.

He notes cultural practices, counting with ten fingers, dextral dominance in drill, and the link between right sidedness and right eye firing, with a small percentage remaining left handed.
