Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: 'We sang and talked': Now able to laugh after their ordeal in the frigid waters of Lake Ontario. Shirley, 50, and Bruce Burgess, 51, tell reporters today they felt no fear, only hope, as they floated in life preservers for 18 hours. They were sighted by a Star photographer's plane after their 30-foot sailboat sank Sunday afternoon.
