"A. The Navy said there was a fair chance cf recovering the lifeboat after h e Coast Guard Merchant Marine hearing section which issued 8 statement saying the missing boat had it's gasoline tanks full and Raymond J Havreck, oiler, who IS very competent and familiar with gas oline engines, is in the boat.4
 The missing tifeboat contained l naval seamen, 7 soldiers and 8 Merchant Marine crew mem bers. Walter G. Borst, boatswain on the Gaines, is in command of the boat.
 The Coast Guard statement said "it appears the vessel broke partly as it passed either over or between swells, and the follow ing swell completely broke off the forward end of the vessel. It was also indicated that the for ward section was rammed, per- haps by the after section after the break and before the engine could be shut down."
