A little girl riding an inflatable unicorn was rescued after she was swept out to sea in Greece Tuesday. The Greek City Times reported:
The incident took place in the sea area off the town of Antirrio in the Gulf of Corith.Lucky girl. Very lucky.
It occurred around noon on Monday when the girl between 4 and 5 years had reportedly “escaped her parents’ attention” and was swept away from the shore on a unicorn buoy.
When the parents realised that their little daughter was out of sight, they informed the port authorities who alerted the captain of the local ferry “Salaminomachos.”
The nearest ship hurried to save the four-year-old girl.
“I was approaching the port of Antirrio and I was notified by the Port Authority that a child, who I did not expect to be so small, had been swept away by the currents on a nearby beach, which is near the port pier,” said the heroic captain Grigoris Karnesis.
After spotting her on the inflatable unicorn, he carefully rescued her.
“The little one was not cool, she was frozen from her fear, because the current was very strong. I put the ship in such a position so as not to affect the small buoy, I placed it in such a way that the ship was not affected by ripples, because if the buoy sank we would have serious problems. We approached it slowly and we were able to rescue the child,” he continued.... Rest of article.

Praise God! My daughter is four and has exact same unicorn! Though her mother and I would never let her into the sea without a life jacket...
Wow! Are you changing the blog Identity to International Jambalaya? Can we have a naming contest? Would be nifty if you got as big as Drudge Report. All I can say is go for it Bubba.
Thank God for saving that child's life.
Great ending !
We need to hear more such stories.
Dad looks pissed
Escaped their attention? Don't think there was much attention to be escaped from. Hope their version of child services checks to make sure they don't have an unusually large life insurance policy on that kid. She may be better off being raised by the Unicorn.
Hurrah!

Go back to you JFP paper and its SOFO coverage. Geez! If you don't like the story then ignore it. That's why I don't read JFP or the CL and their biases. At least KF presents all sides and digs deep to get it.
