(UP)-Pneumonia develop
ing from five days exposure
to the elements in q raging tropical
storm today threatened to add new
casualties to the list of four persons
who perished in the wreck Of the
British freighter Silver Hazel.
Two of So persons saved by the
United States navy destroyers Peary
and Bulmer after a desperate dash
to safety on flimsy RATS construct
ed of lumber and rope already had
been stricken as the Peary plowed
toward Manila from the wreck
scene off the rocky southern coast
of the Island of Luzon.
The Peary's' physician, DR.. Edgar
Nefflin, said others snatched from

a five days isolation on small,
storm beaten rock also might de-
velop pneumonia before the ship
arrives in Manila.
Arnbulances were ordered to be
at the dock when the navy craft
ties up. They will rush all pneu-
monia victims Immediately to hos
pitfalls for emergency treatment.
At the wreck scene, the Bulmer
still reached through an increasing
storm for Captain H. A. Lennard,
master of the wrecked vessel, and
a Hindu seaman. Although no hope
was held that the pair would be
found alive, naval officers hoped
their bodies might be recovered.
Aboard the Peary were the bodies
of Mrs. Neil Williams of Pasadena,
