SKIPPER SON
OF SEA HERO
Spur From Long Line
Of Seafaring Men

WESTFIEID, N. j., Jan. %
Capt. Frank Spur, skipper OF the
rescue tanker ESQ Baytown, was
only living UP to a 130-year-old
tradition of heroiSm at sea when
he navigated his ship to the spot
in the stormy Atlantic where 10
survivors of the ill-fated British
flying boat Cavalier were clinging
to rubber floats.
This was told today by his SIS
ter, Mrs. Roberta Bumstead. in
her home here. She spoke with re-
luctance, because her brother, a
confirmed bachelor, doesn't sp-
prove of "spinnin' yarns" either
about his own or his ancestors
Seagoing adventures.
"CHIP OF OLD BLOCK"
But up in Nova Scotia, where
the Spurs made living from the
sea ever since the Revolutionary
War. 55-year-old Franks feat Sat
urday would seem only natural to
expect from "a chip Of the old
block"
The "old block" Mrs. Bumstead
disclosed, was their father, Capt.
Frank w. Spur, with whom the
rescue skipper first went to sea
when he was a lad of II. During
the World War, Capt. Frank w.
Spur sailed vessels with supplies
for England for the Prince Line, a
British firm, and had three ships
torpedoed under him by German
U.boats.
KEEPS WAR RANK
Nor was Mrs. Bumstead's
brother idle during the World
War. The present Captain Spur
enlisted in the United States Navy,
soon became a lieutenant-com-
mander and had charge Of the
hospital ship Mercy which for
long was stationed in French wa
ters and later brought wounded
doughboys back to the United
States. He still holds his war
rank in the Naval Reserve.

the lost plane at 1890 p. M,
voices of survivors were heard
calling. No. / lifeboat, in charge
of Chief Officer Olaf Anderson,
found survivors floating in rub
ber life boats and took them
into lifeboats bringing them
alongside where they were safely
taken on board.
"All survivors are able to trave.
by motor car. Five men and five
women require overcoats, shoes
and trousers for temporary trans
fer"
After this each survivor was
permitted to send a one-word mes
sage "safe"-to anxious families
and the radio was then closed fol
all except official business.
When the 100000 flying boat
fell it had covered less than hall

Of them to turn back.
Daylight had long since turned
into darkness when the Baytowr
arrived near the floating survivors
The tanker cast its huge search
light over the ocean, but was
unable to locate the bobbing sur
vivors. They screamed and yellec
in unison, but their shouts failed
to reach lookoutS on the ship
above the roar of the wind ano
the crash of the waves.
Despaired of Rescue
And as the Baytown and its
lights faded into the distance, the
hopes of the 10 hapless victims
sank into deep despair.
Not until an hour later did the

The Cavalier was understood
here to have some form Of com.

retors Of her engines.

crate the Sikorsky flying boat

flied, pointed out that their ship

PILOT HAD WARNING
That the pilot Of the Cavalier
knew Of the danger Of ice con.

off was established by Weather

his route to Bermuda.

Responsibility for dispatchins

rests entirely with officials Of I'm.
perial Airways, Ltd. a Civil Avia-
tion Authority spokesman said
today.
While there are definite regu-
lations preventing the takeoff of
an American plane where flying
conditions are hazardous, there is
nothing to prevent a foreign com
mercial plane from attempting
such trip as sent the Cavalier
to the bottom Of the Atlantic with
the loss Of three lives.
AGREEMENT DESCRIBED
Sole agreement existing between
the United States and Great Brit
ain. the CAA pointed out, is an
exchange Of notes between the
State Department and the British
Air Ministry in April, 1887, when
the New York Bermuda service was
tnaugurated.
This agreement simply stated
that the two nations agreed to
maintain safety requirements con
sidered adequate for the protection
of passengers.
While the United States has a
law stating aircraft cannot be
dispatched unless they carry de
icing equipment where ice condi-
tions are indicated, this regulation
does not apply to British com.
mercial ships operating from a
base in this country.
ICE PERIL UNEXPECTED
All American-operated air trans
ports, both over land and sea, are
now equipped with de-icing equip
ment, which is installed in the
planes months before ice condi.
tions are likel yto occur. The CAA
authorities said they believed the

selves heard. They were success
full. A lifeboat was lowered in the
heavy seas, but it was after II p.
m. when it reached the survivors.
AS the rescue operations were
completed. the coast guard cutter
Champlain, in command Of Capt.
Raymond T. McE1ligott, arrived
on the scene and stood by.
The Baytown sent out call for
a physician. The U. S. s. Erie, with
a full medical complement, was
drawing near but meanwhile
Lieut.. Phil Short and a pharma-
cist's mate, completed the hazar-
douS task of boarding the tanker
in mid-ocean and first aid was ad-
miniStered to the 10 victims.
So exhausted were the survivors
by their ordeal they could give
only vague and incoherent &C
counts Of what had transpired.
Later, as the crew calmed, all said
they were certain they had seen
the three missing men gradually
let go Of their life preservers and
sink from sight.
From Captain McE1ligott's con-
versations with the survivors, it
was evident they made a quick
grab for the rubber seats and back
rests of the plane chairs which are
inflated and also serve as life pre-
servers in emergencies. The plane
Opened and sank" when it struck
the water, he said.
"They had no time to put on
their life BELTS" he related.
"They were simply holding on
to them in a group. Two Of the
men swan toward the Baytown
and it was their screams that
Captain Spur heard"
Noakes First to Sink
NoakeS apparently was the first
to sink from sight. Ironically
enough, he had flown more thar
100, 900 miles without miShap, and
this was his wife's first air voyage
Mrs. NoakeS, admirably calm de
spite the tragedy which engulfeo
her, told an officer on the Cham
plain she believed her husband
had suffered a head injury when
the ship fell and had little
strength left. She shouted words
of encouragement to him.
IT tried to swim out to him"
she told an officer Of the Cham
plain. Then he let go. never
saw him again."
Miller, also lost, though his wife
was saved, had planned to take
an earlier ship to Bermuda. He
postponed the trip Saturday be
cause of bad weather.
Spence, the steward. also was
believed to have been badly In
jured when he ship crashed.
Talbot, a Harvard business stu
dent, amazed ,rescuers with his
hardihood. With a broken arm
in a plaster cast, he managed to
cling to his life preserver through
out the 10 tortuouS hours.
The Pan-American flying boat
the Bermuda Clipper. which flew
the route alternately with the
Cavalier. arrived on schedule al
2:55 p. m. yesterday afternoon al
Port Washington. Aboard were
10 passengers including Mrs. Eliza
beth Richardson, wife Of the first
officer Of the Cavalier. and Mrs
Elsie Chapman, wife Of the radio

After watching their husbands
sink in the angry sea, Mrs. Miller
and Mrs. Noakes became hysterl-
cal aboard the rescue vessel.
Mrs. Noakes, who never had
been in a plane before, told the
rescuers she watched her husband
struggle until the last bit OF
strength ebbed from his body.
She said:
HE looked very weak. He let
20 of his life belt almost as
soon as we fell in the water.
I screamed to him to hold on,
but he let go and didn't see
him again. Oh, it was hor-
rible."
Ironically, Noakes was veteran
of 100000 miles in the air. He
had difficulty perSuading his wife
to accompany him on the trip.
Commander Raymon T.
McElliott, of the Coast Guard
cutter Champlain, said the l3
board the Cavalier had no time
to prepare for the emergency. He
related:
"They had no time to put
on their life belts. They simply
were holding onto the belts in

vivors swan around the Bay
town and it was their cries
which the captain Of the Bay
town heard"
Captain Anderson was reported
in the most serious condition from
exposure and shock, but was eX
pected to recover.
Some of the others were believed
to have suffered bruises and cuts
when the 19-ton flying boat struck
the water with terrific force at
1:12 o. m. Saturday. Its passengers
had no time to adjust their life
belts as the ocean poured into
the shattered wreckage and sent
it quickly to the bottom.
