Survivor OF Shrimp Boat
Tragedy Tells Story Here
SKIPPER SIMS
CHILLED AND
PENNILESS WEEK
BEFORE XMAS

Heartbroken, chilled and dazed
Skipper Elijah Sims mourned his
drowned mate James Cannon, lost
when the shrimper Capt. Frank
sank after going around in North
west channel yesterday morning.
Sims, bundled up in Coast Guard
water proof overalls, after his IL
hours in the cold, high seas off
Key West, was red eyed with
weeping and shock following the
sea tragedy. He had lost every
thing, papers. clothes, and was
fiat broke.
He had been bringing his shrimp
er into Key West from Dry Tor
tugas when the vessel ran aground
and was dashed against a jetty.
"She sank in 20 minutes after
she began to Leak" the big, sad
man Sdlu yesterday.
Shivering, as he remembered his
narrowing night in the rough seas.
Sims said that the vessel provided
only slight protection against the
seas for him and Cannon.
I'VE both stood on a rail of the
ship that was still afloat. We was
knocked down when the waves
come up"
AT daybreak yesterday, Sims de.

Obb0s1tl0m Mounts In Bay
Bottom Land Controversy
City Commission
To Meet Tonight,
Many Expected
To Oppose Issue
Rv JIM COBB

Opposition to the deci-
non by the City Commission
20 return 512 acres of bay
bottom land to state control
is expected to crystalize at
che regular meeting of that
group tonight.
Following the move by the
commissioners last week to re-
linuuish the reservation by the
trustees of the state Internal I'M
orovement Board on the valuable
piece of land fronting on Roose-
welt Boulevard, interested citizens
have indicated that they will
retition the city fathers in an
effort to persuade them to re-
verse their decision. Return of
the land to the state would pave
the way for its sale to private
interests.
The land was reserved to the
city in June, 1851 by the state
for the purpose of preserving the
natural scenic beauty of the area
for the public. The tract of land,
the control of which has created
a hot controversy, lies under water
and stretches from the municipal
swimming pool to a point AIS feet
short of the juncture of the Sigsbee
Park Road and Roosevelt Boule-
ward. Several real estate opera
tors are said to be interested in
buying the land for business deve-
iopment.
The commissioners said that the
reaeon Ca the REIMBURSEMENT Of

ghe4 4areashad Gefeated the original
intent Of the grant by the state.
Il no longer serves "any useful
purpose to the CITY," they aver.
'owever, public sentiment eyi-
GENTLY is in favor of retention of
The land.
Some quarters hold that the city
should maintain the rights to the
land so that they will be able to
control the traffic situation on the
Boulevard. A large number of
drivewayS opening on to that
tAoroughfare would constitute a
crave traffic hazard, they contend.

stitute" lungs.
DR.. James said the Canadian
monkey lung technique constituted
another possible step toward the
objective of perfecting substitute
heart and lung systems for use in
cases where temporary stoppage
of the patients own heart and
lungs offers the only chance for
successful surgery.
He stressed that the Canadian
work and that of other investiga-
tors in this substitute" system
field is still in the experimental
stage.
Several investigators have kept
animals alive for long periods with
such systems. and there have been
three cases where humans have
been kept alive for short periods
with the aid of purely mechanical
systems.
But the Canadian work is the
first in which the lung Of an ami
NAL has been used as an expert
mental substitute for the lungs Of
a human.

Associsfed Press Science Writer
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. VA. R-The first use of a
monkey lung to provide an extern
al substitute for the lungs of q
human being drring surgery was
announced today by a surgeon who
said the technique kept several
babies alive for a time-one Of
them for three hours.
The monkey lungs. freshly re-
moved from the animals, were
used in conjunction with a tine
chanical heart" and were en-
ployed specifically to supply oxy-
gen to the blood of the patients
whose own heart and lung systems
were cut off.
One monkey lung was used for
each Of five human infants. All
the babies were suffering from
congenital heart defects, and di-
rect operation on the heart itself
constituted their only chance for
survival.
None of the babies survived, but
the surgeon who described the
technique said there is encourage
ment in the fact that life was
maintained-even though tempo
rarily-with the aid of ssubsti-
tute" heart and lung system out
side the patients own bodies.
DR.. Robert James, head Of the
department Of surgery at the Uni
versity Of Toronto, said the tech
nique was developed by DR.. w. T.
Mustard of the university staff.
Although the work has not yet
been described in scientific litera-
ture, DR.. James mentioned it brief
ly at meeting of the American
Surgical Association here.

Sea Scouts

IG3lfldn
AT 7:l5 on Thursday morning,
q group Of boys from Sea Scout
ship ESQ, gathered in front Of the.
Coast Guard building for their
trip to Dry Tortugas. While they
were waiting, a few pictures
were taken Of the boys lined UP
with their equipment.
The ship started for Dry Tor
fugas at q quarter of nine. The
day was beautiful and the sea
was pretty calm until we got
out ways where it started to
get choppy. A few Of the boys
got seasick and were lying
around the deck. We had good
trip to the island and most of
the boys were so excited they
didn't have time to get seasick
We arrived at Dry Tortugas a
little later than we expected be-
cause we had to take some sup
plies over TO Loggerhead Key
which Is three miles from Dry
Tortugas. Finally the ship dock
ed at Dry Tortugas and we were
taken to our quarters in the
fort.
There. some of the boys cook
Cd a light lunch while others
went to look around the fort.
After a while we were taken on
= guided tour Of the fort by a
park service attendant who gave
Us the history and some Of the
incidents which took place there
years ago. Then some OF the
boys went to cook supper while
others went fishing along the
piers. After everyone had eaten
Il was well past six o'clock and
q few of the boys went to play
softball with the Coast Guard
men.
Somewhere around nine
o'clock we had code practice.
The Coast Guard helped us at
that by sending us messages. We
would receive them and send
them back. After that, since il
was pretty dark. most Of the boys
decided to 60 fishing. Quite a
few large red snappers were
caught along with few yellow
tails. Since it was getting late
and they had the long trip back
in the morning. some of the
hops decided to turn IN on the
cots which were provided TO us
by the park service. AL six
o'clock on Friday morning we
were awakened so that we
could get our breakfast and pack
our gear to get ready for the
trip back.
