The Navy Coast Guard and the

owned the vessels involved conduct
ed separate examinations and
reached the conclusion that it was
a freak accident.
Glenn Blanton, 27-year-old oiler
from Atlanta, Ga. is alive because
he climbed into the Springhill's ice
box.
Asleep in his bunk below deck,
Blanton said he was awakened by
the general alarm which followed
the collision. He tried to make his
way topside, but was forced from
the stairway by smoke. Finally he
staggered down a passageway and
opened a big door and went in. 1t
was the ice box.
Several hours later he heard water
swishing against the door and
peeked out. A stream of water from
a fireman's hose struck him full
force in the face. Then he was led
to safety.
