Ships Damaged by Storm Dual Drama in Atlantic
In the Atlantic a 423-foot freighter Georgia bound from India to New York and a 70-foot yawl Petrel were separated by 100 miles as rescue ships battled 18-foot waves and 35 knot winds. Twenty-nine crewmen aboard the Georgia and 10 aboard the Petrel faced danger, with aircraft and Coast Guard cutters maneuvering to assist and a British freighter standby. The Petrel's five remaining crew pumped water while two cutters and a British ship aided the beleaguered vessels amid a fierce storm.
