COAST GUARD
MAINTAINS USUAL
RESCUE RECORD
Twenty Six Rescued Near
Ocracoke by Capt.
Henry PeeIe's
Crew

The skipper and 25 crewmen of
the motorship Miget wrote new
epic of men against the sea today,
escaping through storm-lashed
surf from their grounded, cracking
freighter in their only remaining
lifeboat.
Led by Capt. Ludolph Won Tan
gen, So, of Milford, N. j., the men
rode an apparent ''last chance" to
safety after winds and pounding
seas forced back Coast Guard res
cue boats and began ripping the
2,60O-ton freighter apart.
Waves shattered one lifeboat in
the davits as the men tried to
launch it, Won Tangen told the
Coast Guard at Ocracoke station
on the Outer Banks.
"All of US had to ride the only
boat left" he said. I'VE must have
gone a mile or a mile and a half
when we hit"
The Coast Guard said Won Tan
gen had only glimpse of rocket
fired by an approaching rescue
party to guide him toward land,
but said his maneuvering of the
little craft through the boiling surf
was excellent"
The surf carried the lifeboat to
shore and dropped it on the bottom
a few yards offshore and broke it
up, pitching the men in the water.
They staggered ashore, weary and
wet, and dropped down on the flat
sandy beach of Portsmouth Is
land, five miles south of Ocracoke,
just as Coast Guard rescue party
reached the scene.
One of the men had fired a flare
gun from the boat which guided
the rescue party through the bog
gy marsh to reach them. I'VE saw
the flare while we were on our
way" said Capt. Henry Peele of
the Ocracoke station. I'VE knew
they had reached the beach,"
Capt. Peele is a son of Mrs.
Alonzo Stowe of Manteo, and is
one of the best known men in SER
vice.
