Survival at Sea

On 24th April, 2005, Josh Long, 18, and Troy Driscoll, 15, decided to go out to sea in
their boat. They sailed out from Sullivans Island, South Carolina, USA, to go fishing
in the Atlantic Ocean. When it suddenly became very windy, they realised that they
were in trouble and tried to return to shore. However, their small boat didnt have a
motor or sails and the wind blew them out to sea. Very soon, they could see nothing
but the ocean.
Josh and Troy were lost at sea for six days. How did these young boys survive without
food and water and in extreme temperatures? Troy knew he had to eat something to
survive, so he ate jellyfish. He explained that because the jellyfish smelled terrible, he
swallowed them as quickly as he could. One night, when it rained, the boys licked the
rainwater off the boat. During the day it was very hot, so the boys took turns jumping
into the sea to cool down. But then, they discovered sharks swimming under the boat.
At night, when the temperature dropped, it was freezing. There was water on the floor
of the boat. Half our bodies were lying in water. Troy said I was freezing cold. In
order to keep warm, the boys held each other.
They tried to be positive and not to lose hope. They kept singing songs and thinking
about milkshakes and their favourite desserts. Finally, Josh and Troy were rescued more
than 160 kilometres away from the place where they had set sail six days earlier.

All About Garlic
Garlic was first found in Asia about 4,000 years ago and eventually it spread all over the
world. It was often used in cooking to make food taste better; however, people believed
that it had other benefits, as well. Some people thought the strong smell protected them
from evil. So, for example, people in the Balkans put garlic on their doors and windows
to protect their families from witches and to keep thieves away from their cows. Many
European fishermen wore garlic to protect themselves from danger while out at sea.
Through the ages, people have also used garlic to treat and prevent disease. The Romans
used it to treat dog bites and to keep scorpions away. Later on, in the Middle Ages,
people used garlic to try to cure themselves from the plague. Centuries later, in 1858,
the famous French scientist, Louis Pasteur proved that garlic kills germs. This explains
why during World War II, British doctors used garlic to clean soldiers wounds when
they didnt have any medicine. Garlic is also used to help sore teeth, and mixed with
honey, garlic can take the pain away from sore muscles.
Today, scientists understand much more about garlic than before. They know how
uncooked garlic helps cure infections, and which types of bacteria it can kill. Its no
wonder that garlic has been so popular throughout history! Now we also know that
garlic contains vitamins A, B, C and when its cooked, garlic is good for the heart. So,
next time your parents go to the supermarket, ask them to add garlic to their shopping
list!
