It carried oxygen tanks but not

Coast Guard stations along the

another flying boat, a ply, took Oft
from Floyd Bennett field.
A few minutes later Coast
Guard helicopter also took OFT
from New York with five small
bottles of oxygen and began its
comparatively slow flight to the
Queen Mary. The helicopter crew
planned to drop their ship onto the
deck of the Queen Mary if the seas
were two heavy for the flying
boats.
At 4:4o p. M, the PPM from
Salem, piloted by j. G. Walker,
appeared over the Queen Mary.

was taken aboard the liner.
Meantime, the Phys flight was

until it was certain their help
would not be needed.
Although the tanks delivered by
the PPM were not the type speci-

after birth and four hours after

Roy or john" she said as she
lay resting in her home.
Everything look at moves
like wave and everything I
listen to seems to have the noise of
the surf mixed up in it."
The trip began, March 2, like
any of the numerous fishing cruises
the Nancy B had made in the past
three years, bound this time to
fishing waters off the Santa Cruz
islands.
Sea Was Rough
The sea was rough, and got
rougher so speed was slowed to
nine knots. The trip took nine and
a half hours, instead Of the usual
six. At $50 am, March 3, they
were between Santa Cruz and Ana
capa.
Then hell broke loose" Mrs.
Brown said. II don't know what
happened; 7 guessed it was the
way the gale was blowing-it SEEM
ed to come from all directions.
II hate to say how tall the waves
were because I don't think anyone
would believe me. They were so
feet high, I thought"
One, over the stern, flooded the
motor. Brown lifted the hatch to
see what happened and another
wave hit, swapping the boat.
Then Brown ordered them all into
the skiff.
Skiff Capsizes
Forty feet away the skiff cap
sized, too, and Mrs. Brown swan
to the Nancy B to grab the bow.
"The seas were SO strong I
couldn't board her. I saw Roy and
John hanging onto the skiff, then
Roy started swimming toward me.
HE got about half way. The last
I saw him was his arm thrust
out of wave. I never did see what
happened to John"
Mrs. Brown saw floating gaso-
line drum and grabbed, using it
for a float as she swan.
II never expected to make 1t. I
think I swan about seven miles,
hanging onto the drum and kick
ing. Sometimes the waves would
tear the Darrell from my hands
and I had to swim after it. My
fingernails were torn from holding

Nearly Gave Up.
II nearly gave up but I thought
about Roy and John. The sea
threw me against the rocks and
skinned me up some. I climbed up
and stayed there all night
At dawn, wearing only jacket,
she tried to climb the cliff but
found it too. steep. Unsuccessfully,
she tried to carve steps with a sea
shell.
Then she went back in the water
and swan along the shore.
Il guess it was about four hours,
then I saw four cabins up on the
cliff, and did they look good"
Some way climbed up. They
were deserted and the biggest one
had a board across the door. It
didn't take me long to get that
