and not far from the scene OF
the collision.
Two huge flying boats were
ordered out from Floyd Bennett
Field in Brooklyn and QuonSet
Point, RI, but their flights later
were Cancelled because Of the
fog.
An aircraft carrier and a Navy
destroyer were alerted at Boston
as were two more destroyers and
two fleet tugs at Newport. A later
order sent a number of "unsink-
able" motor life boats from Coast
Guard stations in the Cape Cod
area.
AS the fitting Andrea Doria
lost use of her radio she switched
to an emergency set. The signals
were picked up by the Stockholm
and relayed as rescue ships
closed in.
Fruit Ship Leads
The Cape Ann, a fruit ship,
was the first to arrive-shortly
after midnight. She went be-
tween the two stricken ships and
launched her lifeboats as the
Andrea Doria played her spot

Two hours and is minutes
after the first SOS, an Army

Next to arrive were the Robert

Hundreds Reported Hurt
AS Ships Crash, | Sinks

York, nine Coast Guard cutters
sped to the stricken ships. New,
Iso-called unsuitable motor life
boats also were ordered out from
the Cape Cod area.
A fruit ship, the Cape Ann,
was the first mercantile rescuer
to arrive. 1t got there shortly
after midnight and launched
lifeboats while the Andre Doria
played spotlights into the fog.
The Cape Ann took on 200 sur
vivors.
The French ocean queen, lie
de France, like the Stockholm
fresh out of New York, arrived
about 2 am. 1t was the lie de
France that flashed word of the
successful rescue operation. Al
4:56 am. she radioed:
"All passengers rescued-pro-
ceeding New York full Speed-nc
more help needed"
At least three other vessels ar
rived within a matter of ~
hours.
Doria Was to Dock Today
The Coast Guard said the sea
was not heavy. A 13-mile wind
was blowing.
The Doria, out of Genoa with q
crew of 500, was due in New York
today.
The Stockholm was en- route
to Goeteborg with 500 passengers
and 200 crew.
Ofhcials of the line in Genoa,
Italy, said they could not
imagine" that the ship might
sink.
Security Compartments
They said she was divided into
IL security compartments which
should keep her afloat even with
grave danger" They said the
prov and engine sections of the
ship had a double hull.
The vessel also was said to
have been equipped with the
most modern radar which exists. -,
Cause of the crash remained
a mystery, considering that ships
with such radar are able to spot
other vessels many miles away.
Helicopters reaching the crash
site at first were thwarted in
efforts to remove the injured by
the fog, which made a landing
on rescue ships decks hazardous.
But five finally were taken
from the Stockholm in wire bas-
Ikets, lowered from a helicopter.
Not since the Titanic carried
1,517 persons to a watery grave
in 1912 had there been as po-
