* 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.
