Nearly a week passed before the girl was able toexplain what had happened to her. One afternoonshe set out from the coast in a small boat and wascaught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat strucka rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then sheswam to the shore after spending the whole night inthe water. During that time she covered a distance ofeight miles. Early nextmorning, she saw a lightahead. She knew she was near the shorebecause the light was high up on the cliffs. Onarrivingat the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. Thatwas all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.
