・113.4 The jagged rocks off Oshima ...
Although the current excavation has brought renewed attention to the Ertugrul, it has never been forgotten on Oshima Island, where a memorial stands next to a cemetery for the drowned sailors. A ceremony every five years commemorates the accident.
“Everyone on the island knows the story,” says Oishi, director of the Turkish Museum. On the night of the accident, some of the sailors were by luck washed up onto the shore of the island, according to Oishi. It was there that local fisherman found them and cared for them.
“In those days, this island was a very inaccessible place,” he notes. Oshima was connected to the mainland by bridge for the first time just nine years ago.
The people here pooled their food and cared for the injured until they could be taken to Kobe. All 69 of the rescued sailors eventually recovered.

[意味把握チェック]
現在の發掘によりErtugrul號が再度脚光をあびてゐるが、大島では忘れられたことはなく、そこには溺死した水兵の墓地の隣に記念館が立つてゐる。５年ごとに事故の追悼の祭儀（/式典）が行はれてゐる。
「島民は誰もがその話を知つてゐます」と、トルコ記念館の館長のOishiは言ふ。Oishiの云ふところによると、事故の夜、水兵の一部が幸運にも島の海岸に打ち上げられた。地元の漁師が彼らを見つけて手當（世話）をしたのはそこであつた。
「當時はこの島はとても近づきにくい場所でした」と、彼は補足した。大島は9年前に初めて本土と橋でつながつたばかりであつた。
當時の島人たち（←この島の人々）は、負傷者が神戸に運ばれるまで、食料を出し合つて、手當をした。結局、救助された水兵69人の全員が恢復した。
