sustain life for an indefinite period,
and, further, is equipped with a sail
by means of which a shipwrecked per
son may make his way to a passing
vessel or eventually reach shore.
According to a writer In the Sclsu

to tbe back serves to keep the person
afloat and a provision and drink cluuu

course the wrecked vessel was pursu
