In the Caribbean Sea in the Dominican Republic (República Dominicana), there was a small boat carrying 16 people, originally to be smuggled to Puerto Rico, but unfortunately lost at sea, the ship’s water and food have been exhausted, the whole ship passengers are increasingly weak, and then the female passenger Faustina (Faustina Mercedes) chose to use her own breast milk to drink for the whole ship, successfully help the whole ship 16 people, successfully survive the 12-day drift crisis. Later, the female passenger Faustina (Faustina Mercedes) chose to use her own breast milk to the whole ship to drink, smoothly help the whole ship 16 people, smoothly through 12 days of drifting crisis.
Comprehensive foreign media reports, this incident occurred in 2001, but recently the media set off a discussion. In that year, because of inflation in the Dominican Republic, many people chose to smuggle people to live in other countries for the sake of stability. At that time there was a stowaway boat, at a price of $125 to $250 per person, carrying eight men and eight women stowaways, intended to leave from the seaport of Savana De La Mar (Sabana De La Mar), stowaway to Puerto Rico.
The result is that the ship has not long set out, the compass broke down, coupled with the poor sea state at the time, the ship immediately fell into disorientation; and the ship’s resources are almost depleted, the ship’s people have been sick symptoms. At that time, one of the female passengers, Faustina (Faustina Mercedes), saw that her sister Elena (Elena Mercedes) could not hold on to her strength, so she had an idea to give her sister a little bit of breast milk to drink, which was originally intended for her 1-year-old daughter.
Later, Faustina decided to distribute her breast milk to all the passengers on the ship to maintain their strength, but she also set up a rule that each person could only suck her breast milk for 10 seconds a day; and Faustina herself through her sister’s mouth first to contain breast milk, and then back to feed her way, to provide their own nutrition. As a result, the whole ship, so relying on Faustina’s breast milk, smoothly through 12 days, the ship was washed back to shore by the waves. But unfortunately, by the influence of ocean currents, the boat stowaways, in the end, still can not stowaway success, because the boat was pushed back to Dominica.
