Hi,
I realized that a lot of people on here have not been able to read TAOS through an inability to get a hold of a copy, and I had the same problem for quite a while, until I found a transcribed copy of it on scribd. Here is the link if anyone would like to read it online for free - I did about 6 months ago.

There's also an interview with him done sometime late in life available here, which gives a basic account of the sinking in his own words, or for those interested, just a good example of his rather distinctive voice!

I hope this helps someone!
