Bear in mind I was 14 years old and I had no previous knowledge of somebody dying. I feel that I was being guided. Dad was in the boat for about two days after he died and his skin started falling off, and I was led to put the body overboard.

It was not planned, it just happened that way. Your life was saved because of a clever move. You waved frantically at a passing ship and by chance a sailor was looking through his telescope, saw you and thought it unusual for a boat that small to be so far out at sea.

Tell me more about the rescue. Looking back, I remember seeing other ships that passed that I waved at but they were too far away. This one was not too far and I tied a piece of cloth to a stick and waved frantically at the ship. I have no idea where I even got the energy from to do this, but this time my prayers were answered. I saw the boat turning around and I was incredibly happy.

It pulled up alongside me and using hand gesticulations, a crew member was asking me if I could swim. They were speaking German which, obviously, I didn't understand. They threw a rope to me. I understood that. I held on to it for life. I was pulled from the boat and someone helped me to climb a ladder up to the ship. I was unbelievably weak and made it on-board by a miracle.
