Ghost Ship Drifts Off After Two Day Ordeal
Charles Halla, 47, a New Orleans tugboat deckhand, was rescued after surviving aboard a World War II cargo ship adrift in 16 foot seas near the Caribbean. He described doors banging, noises in the hold like a cavern, and a desperate chase as the vessel drifted loose from moorings. The crew planned to secure a line as seas subsided and return the ghost ship to port.
