Liner Transfers Stricken Boy From Freighter
An ocean liner met a freighter in mid Atlantic to take a 5 year old boy aboard for an emergency appendectomy. The transfer occurred by small boat in rough seas after delays from heavy swells. The boy, Rupert Fowler of Nyack New York, was said to be recovering well after the operation. He fell ill Tuesday aboard the U S Wolverine State en route to Falmouth England with his parents aboard. The Wolverine State does not carry a doctor. The Bremen is heading to Germany.

Sailors recount hurricane fury on Fogg as ship rolls

Ten sailors endured 60 to 73 mph winds and 40 foot swells, towing via Chilula and Kiowa with no generator or lights. They slept little, ate cereal and peanut butter, and kept watch in the wardroom as the tow line held. No injuries occurred, and the crew remained confident they'll survive the ordeal.
