Elba and Gregoria on the Itata

Jorge saw the same woman who had helped him on the beach, Gregoria. She brought him a bowl of chicken soup and welcomed him to her home. He could sense there was something she wanted to tell him. Elba had made it off the itata in one of the lifeboats,. But the effort and the cold had been too much. Of the more than 500 people on the ship, only 26 had survived. All men.
