Miracle, Man lives 2
days in sea without food and water.
By catching
baby eels on a beach off the east coast of Taiwan when a man named Tseng Lien
swept away by an unexpectedly large wave.
According to
the media report the 42 years old managed to grape hold of a floating wooden
coffin lid as he was taken away from the shore in Hualien county.
He told
that I managed to hlld on as the first wave hit me on the chest, but I was
overwhelmed by the second and bigger wave. On the lid, I was drifting and
drifting. During that period I hoped I could be picked u p by tiny ships
passing by. His fiancé, who is expecting a baby next month raised the alarm
when he did not return home on time. He had
been fishing to make extra money. the
strong waves eventually carried him onto a beach in the southeastern country of
Taitung, 46 miles away.
After his
medical treatment, doctors said he was slightly dehydrated and had developed
sores on his arms due to being in the seawater for so long. Considering the
fact that he had not taken in any food or water while drifting at sea for about
60 hours and he remained conscious, all about him was that this was a miracle. He
had now promised his fiancée he would stop the fishing trip.
