Engineer Gives Version
Charles Greenwald, So, a

painfully in bed. his legs criss-
crossed with deep scratches, and
told his version of how the ship
foundered and sank.
Friday morning, he said, he
had talked to the captain who
said he was trying to make
Annapolis.

shore could see the duck blind

1.-TWO men borrowed a rowboat
and an cupboard motor and came
out to the duck blind to make an
attempt to get close enough. We
put the two weakest members
of the group into the boat first.
They were taken ashore.
GAS we watched them go
ashore all of us thought it would
never be possible for them to
get back to us again. They came
back the second time and took
the two remaining women.

Skipper Tells of Ordeal
In Bay as Ship Sank

the lounge area, I addressed the
passengers. I told them our
method Of abandoning ship. At
the time of the discussion it was
not a pressing issue at all.
Everyone was in fairly good
spirits.
II told them we would fasten
a lifeline to each of us so that no
one would get separated from the
rest of the group.
While we were in the process
Of doing his, the first of the
group who had the line fastened
were out of the lounge, out on
deck on the fantail. They came
through the hatch one at a time
as we were fastening the line
to them.
1.-THE ship porpoised, nosed in
under a large oncoming sea
Apparently when it rose up out
of the water it must have lifted
the anchor and dropped broad
side to the seas.
Rolled and Capsized
"She was rolled twice and then
capsized on her starboard side.
1T was about 2::40 pm.
AT the point of the capsizing,
several were standing on the
fantail I was one of them. I was
dropped down underneath the
aftersail and by the time I had
fought my way clear of the sail
there were five or six coming
out Of the lounge.
The seas grabbed me and I
was washed clear Of the ship.
"A young lady next to me,
Nancy Madden (of 1900 Connec-
ticut avenue NV, Washington,
D. CO.. had hold of the end of
the after boom. I pulled myself
back onto the ship and several of
the people coming out of the
lounge climbed the upper side of
the ship.
Mrs. Roberts MRS. Frances
Roberts Of Orange. Conn., and
some other people swept by me.
I reached out and got ahold of
Mrs. Roberts. Between the three
of us-Nancy Madden, Mrs. Rob-
erts and myself-we caught
Hutchinson tof New
York; as she floated by. Another
Of the crew was being
swept by on the other side of
Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Roberts
reached out to him.
AT this point there was a
group of five or six of us in the
water. I couldn't say exactly

who they were. but there were
five or six on top of the ship.
"A large sea washed over all
Of us, submerging us for a min
ute or so and we were thrown
heller skelter in the surge Of the
sea.
Upon coming back to the
surface again, we found we had
been torn free of the vessel and
were afloat.
I'VE grabbed at each other in
the excitement, we clutched in a
group and held hands, in a group
of five.
I'VE said: whatever you do
don't ever let go and We'll be all
right
LAS each sea passed over us
and we would again be exposed
on the surface, we checked to
see that everyone was all right.
We were doing fine. We kept our
legs in motion as much as we
could to keep up circulation and
the seas and the wind swept us
Shoreward.
Surf Dangerous
When we got about 100 yards
off the shore, the surf was break
ing terrifically and I could see
by entering the surf or trying
to swim in it we would just be
rolled and battered into the
beach.
I'VE held together, undecided
what to do. The current carried
US outside a point. 1t looked to
us we might be swept out into
the Bay itself again. The visi-
bility was very close again. We
lost sight of the shoreline but a
duck blind doomed up in front
Of us.
I'VE struggled and swan to-
ward it so we could get ahold of
the bottom Of the structure. It
must have been about 6:l0.
when we got there, a voice
hailed us. 1t was Perry Schwartz
(of New York;. He had landed
about five minutes before we
had.
1--WE assisted one another in
the duck blind and COW
cred up inside. Because of the
exposure, everyone was frozen.
The inside of the blind was pro-
tected with tar paper and we

No one was on the beach at all.
Several cars went by. We tried

attract any attention.

said we might have to leave the

"On Thursday night We left
Cambridge. I stayed up on deck
to look at the stars. About 4 am
I turned in. I was up again at
am. The water seemed quite
calm. We were heading for An.

I can remember, no one had ex.

Then after breakfast the sea

Harry Nathanson, 48, a physi-

do something, including fixing
the radio. about lunchtime Fri
day when he saw the passengers
being herded into the cabin.

said. And when the boat

Mr.. Nathanson said as the
boat sank he rose up on its

then jumped. In the water he

Mr.. Pinkney, former Navy
cook who has been on the sea
for some IS years, said he
thought. maybe, the captain
should have "kept a-goin'" in
stead of anchoring off North
Beach.
But he's a good captain and

he said.
Both men were on the fantail
when the ship went down.
They said the crushing blow
was a wave which hit portside
of the ship and sent her rolling
over and to the bottom. The two
men maintained the ship did not
crack up on a reef but just sank.
Mr.. Savoy said the masts-85 to-
80 feet in heights-disappeared
as the ship went down.

none Of the passengers got fran
tic, or even disturbed.
I'VE came across the Bay and
on into Herring Bay, where we
prepared to anchor in a local fish
trap area. I dropped the first
anchor and We had trouble get
ting it to hold. Finally it took
hold and brought the bow into
the wind and we laid very nicely
at anchor. With the wind in

seas getting worse. the ship lifted

In the emergency we dropped
