A pilot who treaded water for hours in the Pacific Ocean after his small plane crashed, and then spent part of the night bobbing in a life raft, was rescued by a container ship and was doing well, shipping officials said.
Ray Clamback, 67, of Australia was spotted Monday evening about 750 miles south of Oahu by the crew of a C-130 search plane from Honolulu that dropped a life raft.
About 9 1/2 hours later he was picked up by the container ship.
