AFTER being adrift in a pirogue at sea for four days, Tobago fishermen Albert James and Junior Thorne were miraculously rescued by two other fishermen and brought safely back to shore, near the Pigeon Point Depot, on February 15.

The men, who appeared weary and shaken, walked into the arms of their family members around 10.45 am amid cheers from fellow fishermen, residents and curious onlookers.

But the emotional reunion was short-lived as Emergency Health Services (EHS) personnel, in two ambulances, were on hand to take the fishermen to the Scarborough General Hospital for medical attention. Several family members accompanied them.
