Spencer Mynott spent five days at sea on a raft which started out with ten people. Only he and Alfred Warren remained when they were rescued by the Cabo de Hornos, which had already picked up the raft containing Cox, Davidson and Rowlandson.

His story was called ‘Ten Little Sailor Boys‘.

An abridged version was published in the “Sunday Pictorial” on 17 April 1960.

As a result, the “Pictorial” arranged a reunion with Alfred Warren, and a follow-up story appeared on 24 April.
