If We Make it 'til Daylight

Résumé du livre

"It happened on Tuesday evening, November 18, 1958. Only a short time ago, I had been going about my duties as a deckwatch aboard the freighter Carl D. Bradley. The next thing I knew; I was fighting for my life, clinging to a tiny raft as it fell between mountainous waves on storm-lashed Lake Michigan. Only two men of the Bradley's crew of 35 would survive the sinking, and I was one of them. Today, I am the only one left to tell the tale and I want to set the record straight. In addition to my story, this book contains the firsthand accounts of Captain Harold Muth and some of the crew of the USCGC Sundew, which braved that terrible storm to rescue Elmer Fleming and me. Although many years have passed since the loss of the Bradley, no one who was touched by that event will ever forget it."--Back cover.
