The main ship ran into a sandbank.  Other boats attempted to tow the 147 manned boat to safety but lost them after some 60 miles or so.  For sustenance the crew of the raft had only a bag of ship&#8217;s biscuits (consumed on the first day), two casks of water (lost overboard during fighting) and a few casks of wine. After thirteen days the raft was rescued by accident.  At that time only 15 survivors were left. The others had been killed off by their comrades, starved to death or thrown themselves into the sea in despair. The incident was a huge embarrassment to the French monarchy.</p><p><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>This shoot uses

far I would go with personal information within this blog.  This post to me is extremely personal, and delves into something that scares me and bothers me daily.  <br/>        My brother Colin is two and a half years old and has a skin condition that is considered a form of eczema.  He scratches at his arms, legs and sides along with his face, leaving marks and bloody patches all over his body.<br/>      The condition seems to be stress oriented and he is very easily embarrassed if his marks are pointed out to him.  I love my brother and hope that his condition eventually fades and doesn&#8217;t hurt him further into his life. </p> <p>View more photographs of the story in the source location. </p> <p><br/><img alt="image"
