heeling over. to pull the first en-
gineer out of the water.
Gen. Hilldring said Mrs. Hill
dring wrenched her back slightly
but didn't require medical atten-

Gen. and Mrs. Hilldring are en-

The blast ripped q hole in the
hull and smashed pipe fittings In
the engine room. Escaping steam
fatally scalded the five crewmen
whose bodies went down with the
ship.
Channel boats reached the
scene within a few minutes and
began taking of survivors. Six Of
the injured passengers. including
two women. were taken to q hos
pital.
Babies clutching toys. men and
shivering In the damp
cold, waited on the decks of the

on q sandbar. while her ofi1cers

Lashed Tug to Side.
He didn't stand off at a safe
distance though the Astrid was
sinking rapidly" Gen. Hilldring
said. The Menahom captain,
completely fearless and calm,
lashed his tug TO the steamers
side.
That action alone accounted
for the fact that many passengers
didn't perish. They jumped into
his tug within Is minutes"
Gen. Hilldring said the captain
then stood of about 200 yards
watching unsuccessful efforts by
other boats to take of the Astrid's
officers who were clinging to the
rope ladders.
When their efforts failed and
they pulled off, the tug captain
nosed to the hull and stayed there
