BAHRAIN, Sept. Is (AP)-
Two big oil tankers collided and
burst into fame in the Gulf Of

on the area in the rescue
attempt. Forty British sailors
lined up to give blood donations
for the most seriously injured
victims.
Salvage parties from the Bull

Fifteen OF the rescued men
were reported injured, nine
