Santa's Wonderland A Parade Of Toys And Rescue At Sea
A maritime incident 20 miles offshore near Monterey Bay involved the Emidio and the Agwiworld. Survivors were rescued after a submarine surfaced and fired near the tanker, with two crewmen killed and several missing. The Emidio, a 6912-ton Socony-Vacuum Oil Company ship, was southbound without cargo, captained by Clark A. Farrow of Long Beach. The Agwiworld, 6661 tons and owned by Richfield Oil, was captained by Goncalves, Brazilian-born American, who praised his crew's calm and seamanship during the chase and return to San Francisco. The incident prompted a naval rescue but identities of some survivors and the two killed remained unclear.
