...nobody knew of his plight; the Morrell had not even sent off an SOS. Not until 34 hours after she sank, when another freighter came upon the floating corpse of a seaman wearing a Morrell life jacket, was a search launched. Two hours later, a Coast Guard helicopter sighted Kale's raft, and divers in rubber suits hoisted him and his three dead mates aboard. In all, a score of bodies were recovered, and it appeared that Hale, who has a wife, two children and two stepchildren in Ashtabula, Ohio, was the sole survivor of the 29-man crew...
...family never had an animal menace like this, said British Farmer Benjamin Banham, whose forebears have been tilling the soil near Great Yarmouth for 500 years. "Last fall they cleared out seven acres of my kale and 40 tons of swede [a kind of turnip grown for cattle fodder]."

For the commercially minded, there are KOIN, KASH and KALE. A rundown of Hawaiian stations has the roll of a Polynesian alphabet (KILA, KONA, KIPA, KULA, KANI), and the palm for redundancy goes to Puerto Rico's'monotonous station WWWW...
