Poon Lim survival told for 1st time....

Item # 566593 ·
THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, NY, May 25, 1943

* Poon Lim - Chinese merchant sailor
* Lost at sea for 132 days and survives


This 44 page newspaper has a small discrete one column headline on page 12: "Tells of 132 Days on Raft".

Which is actually the first report of Poon Lim's amazing ordeal in the South Atlantic. This actually happened a month or so earlier but this is when it was first made public. A small but 1st report.

Other news of the day with much on World War II. Light browning, otherwise in nice condition.
