"Would anybody who can speak
or write Portuguese please get in
touch with Jimmy Hager as soon
as possible?"
If this sounds like an odd re
quest, l i s t e n to what motivated
Jimmy, a USC sophrnore, to make
it.
It s t a r t e d one dull afternoon
(July 2, 1966) at Folly Beach,
with an empty wine bottle, a brown
paper bag, and Jimmy, who was
then 19. For lack of something
better to do, Jimmy wrote a note
with his name, address, the address
of Folly Beach Ocean Plaza Pier
(which he was supposed to be run
ning), and the name of the band
in which he was playing, on a
piece of brown paper bag.
CAST A)RIFF
The paper went inside a 50d
penny wrapper, which went inside
a nickle wrapper, which went in
side the wine bottle. After wrap
ping a whole roll of tape around
the bottle, Jimmy threw it into the
ocean, awl settled down to enjoy
the remainder of a (lull summer
afternoon.
On July 20, 1967, one year, 18
(lays, and 2,600 nautical in i 1 e s
later, a 19-year-old boy named An
tonio was walking along the beach
of the island Flores in the Azores
when he found a wine b o t t 1 e
washed upon shore.
In the bottle was a nickle wrap

and in this a piece of a brown

UNEXI'ECTED REPLY
A letter for Jimmy arrived al
his home on August 1, 1967. Think.
ing it a letter from a friend in the
Air Force, Jimmy was surprised
to f:nd it written in Portuguese,
There were a few English worde
such as Charleston, S. C., Atlantic
Ocean, and "one bottle," which ex.
plained the letter.
When a woman translated the
letter for him, Jimmy learned how
the Portuguese boy found, trans
lated and answered the note.
Jimmy answered this letter with
a package containing two letters;
one in English and the other in
Portuguese.
REVEALS LIFE
The last letter Jimmy received
from the Portuguese boy was writ.
ten for him by a University of
London student, and told Jimmy
about Antonio's home life. He lives
on a self-sufficient farm with his
parents, who hope to have installed
an electric cable by late October or
November so they can put their
lanterns away. Antonio's family, as
well as their neighbors, are very
poor.
Jimmy has not heard from An
tonio again-yet, but it takes about
a month to receive a letter, get it
translated and write back. Jimmy
Hager is sincere when he asks,
"Can anyone write Portuguese?"
