Climbing up the rescue ship

On behalf of 47 boat people of the boat SG152, I deeply thank the captain of the Polish ship PADAWREVSKI who gave us food and drinking water at the night of April 16, 1985 and the captain of the Korean ship HAE WOO NUMBER 3 who picked us up and brought us to the shore of Indonesian island Pulau Laut on April 17, 1985. You saved our lives.

does not answer.
Objects sought after.
Objects retrieved.

The season of rain passes...

a Brandenburg Concerto and Johnny B. Goode.

or weeping?
