Into Key West under escort went the tiny flotilla and its 38 crewmen. For 48 hours the men were kept aboard their boats at the Key West naval base. The captains claimed that they had been driven inshore by strong winds. But two men requested political asylum, and one of them said that the boats had been deliberately sent into U.S. waters.
