seen to be aboard franticaliy struggling
TO loose their safety belts.
While the crowd ran to the sea wall To
use all available telescopes and glasses,
motor boats and craft of all degcrip-
tion sped toward the crippled plane.
CoXswain Thomas Robinson, of ne
United States revenue cutter Manhat-

two other .seamen and arrived there
first by cutting the sails of the boat AND
using oars. Soon afterward came the
Saegatta, an eighty-foot motor boat be-
longing to the Todd Shipbuiding Com

the flyers and put them aboard the Saa-
gatta in stunned and bruised condi
