Remarkable escape of 1st mate who was carried over starboard bows by a tremendous wave, into the raging sea only to be caught by a second wave and hurled back clean over the top of the doomed vessel dropping into the water on the other side was caught again by a wave which landed him high on the rocks of Depuch and from where he made good his escape.
