u. 5. DestrOyers Will Escort Flying
 Arrow TOPOrt
By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 Two U. S. destroyers prepared last night to escort the crippled American freighter Flying Arrow to any port but her destination Shanghai.
 The ship was battered Monday on the high seas by shells from a Nationalist gunboat. Wayne Rich ardson, Associated Press corre- spondent aboard the Flying Arrow, said she was hit between 30 and 40 times.
 Her master, Capt. David Jones of Chicago, pronounced her un- seaworthy and asked to be escort ed by U. s. naval vessels to the nearest port for repairs. That's communist Shanghai.
 Captains of the two destroyers, the StiCkell and the Bausell, said they would not escort the Flying Arrow there. Other communist held ports are nearer the ships position than any port claiming friendship to western powers.
 A Chinese Nationalist gungoat lurked in the distance from the Ewing Arrow as dusk settled over the Orient.
 At Taipei, Formosa, Chinese Ma tionalist capital, a spokesman said the freighter was fired upon to keep her from a mine field that would have meant her certain de- struction with possible large loss of life. The ship carries a crew of 43 plus 12 passengers, seven of them women, bound for Shanghai. The merchantmen is unarmed.
 The Nationalists have slapped a blockade on all Chinese ports held by the Communists. Sea and air patrols have been maintained off Shanghai.
 In Hong Kong a sister ship of the Flying Arrow, the Brooklyn Heights, was loading cargo for Shanghai. She is tentatively sched- uled to sali today with crew of 42 and one passenger. One mem Der of her crew has signed off
