U S Helicopters Rescue 25 Chinese Crew From Sinking Freighter
U S Air Force helicopters rescued 25 crewmen from the Panamanian freighter M Y Keelong off the Philippine coast in the South China Sea after it battled 20 foot waves and typhoon conditions. The ship listed badly to port and lost radio contact before the rescue. Captain Wing Hon Wan of Hong Kong said all crewmen were accounted for. The Keelong, owned by Jaguar Shipping, had departed Bangkok for Taiwan with general cargo. A Japanese tanker Seiwa Maru aided while the radio was repaired.
