Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
OSLO, Norway, May 4 (UPI) -- Authorities in several countries are trying to determine how a homeless London man turned up on a raft drifting in the Skagerrak Strait off Norway.
The castaway, who identified himself as George Williams, 46, said he had been drifting for four days after he was thrown off a British ship, the London Telegraph said.
He was dehydrated and frostbitten when found on a raft made of oil drums in the strait between Norway, Denmark and Sweden on April 21.
Williams, who said he had been living on the streets for several years, was traced back to an east London soup kitchen.
