For three bleak days, with her crew
never out of oilskins, straining en-
gines showed the Montello ahead at
eight knots. On Monday night at 10
o'clock she heeled over. Her rudder
chains had jammed. Then they had
broken.
The vessel was helpless 400 miles
from land and in a hurricane sea.
Then the bulked grain shifted and
the ship listed.
Ship Fills Rapidly.
Waves washed the deck at every
lunge The coal bunkers fioated and
water poured into the ship faster than
the exhausted men could pump 1t out.
1t was not until o'clock Tuesday
morning that Capt Sturese. permitted
Wireless Operator Tomasco Montanari
to ask aid. The Verdi. 100 miles away
answered, and arrived at o'clock that
afternoon.
1t was impossible to launch boats in
that sea. SO the Verdi, with 610 pas
sengers aboard, spent the night circling
about the waterlogged Montello, whose
decks now were continually under
water.
The Verdi's passengers knelt in
prayer. Among them knelt four nuns.
The ships chaplain, Giuseppe Verdi,
chanted the TIE Deum, and plalntive
Italian voices repeated it.
Boat 10 Launched.
The sea thwarted an effort to launch
a boat at dawn. At Z 80 the Montello
got boat overheard.
The first lowered into the heaving
shell was the Montello's mascot, Ma
netti, water spaniel. Twenty-Five
men followed the dog. The crew had
refused to bulge until the pup was
saved A battle of an hour and half
brought The weary sailors close to the
Verdi's side. AS they grasped for lines
sand life belts, swell washed over
their boat and eleven went overheard.
All were saved.
A half hour later First Officer Stag
naro and members of the Verdi's crew
rescued the eleven remaining aboard
the Montello. The freighter sank as
the Verdi turned her nose toward New
York
