Ship Lost On Reef

The crew of a Japanese fishing vessel, "Fuji AAaru No. 11", was rescued from Conway Reef, about 250 miles south of Suva, on Sep tember 21 by a sister ship, "Fuji AAaru No. 6". After the "Fuji AAaru No. 11" went aground on the reef, the Italian lined "Fairsky" and an RNZAF Sunderland answered an SOS call, but their services were not needed. The wrecked crew lived on a sandy islet until being rescued,

while their ship was pounded by

rough seas.
