morning but early reports said
there were no casualties and neith

Cmdr. G. E. Howarth of the Eliza

40 miles from the entrance to Nor

There were 47 men aboard the
Suamico but the number aboard the
Saxon was not learned in early
reports.
A plane from the air station

“The Suamico had a large gaping
hole amidships but did not appear
to be listing,” he said. "The Saxon
was about two miles off with her
bow damaged above the water line
but in no apparent trouble.”
The plane directed the cutter
Barataria to the scene and both
damaged vessels started for port
under their own power, the com
