Race To Aid of Ship Drifting in Atlantic
A British salvage tug began a dramatic race to the American freighter Flying Enterprise which drifted helplessly in rough Atlantic waters off southwest Ireland with its skipper aboard. The US destroyer John W. Weeks arrived to take Captain Henrik K. Carlsen from Woodbridge New Jersey but could not tow the vessel. The 6700 ton ship listed seven degrees as Carlsen clung to a cabin wall on the fifth day, after last Saturday’s transfer of 10 passengers and 40 crewmen, one dead, to rescue vessels.
