| | Capt. Carlsen May Not Last Night At Sea U. S. Navy Destroyer Is Standing By As \Snow Fun Guardian For Carlsen | And ‘Flying Enterprise’ LONDON (#—A new storm rag- ing across the North Atlantic | raised doubts today that Capt. Kurt | Carlsen—and his wallowing ghost ship—could stay afloat until a sal- vage tug beats its way to the} scene The fearless skipper, hailed by the British press as “Captain En- terprise,”’ appeared more concern- ed about the suffering of his would- be ures than his own fate. who refuses to aban- don the ‘American ireighter Flying Enterprise, is existing on a slim diet of tea and “bits of dried food,” he informed the commander of the U. S. destroyer John W. Weeks, which is standing by. You fellows are taking a worse beating and are suffering more than J am,” said the youthful skipper whose faithfulness to the tradition of the sea has stirred the imagination of millions. The destroyer radioes that “‘prep- arations have been made wtih Capt. Carlsen for rescue if requir- | ———— ed.” It was the first indication that the captain may not be able to stick out his lone, iron-man at- tempt to stay with the crewless ship. Its 10 passengers, one of them dead, and crew of 40 were taken | off Jast Friday and Saturday. W. L. Thompson of MeKinney, Tex., commander of the Weeks, radioed this,description of the, he- roi¢ one-man. battle: Gale winds. are sweeping the area, about 300 miles off the south- ern coast of England. The seas are kicking up ferociously. Carlsen stays on the starboard quarter of | the Flying Enterprise, the only part of the deck he can safely reach. For five nights the skipper has | kept this perilous vigil, rejecting ; all offers to remove him. At times the Enterprise lay at an angle of 80 degrees to the water—almost flat on her side. Carlsen keeps in constant touch with the destroyer by radio-tele- phone. His one request was for hot coffee, meat sandwiches and maga- zines. Three attempts to deliver these items by messenger line failed. When a line is shot to him from the destroyer, his precarious position and the surging of the destroyer in the heavy sea prevent him from hauling the line. “At one time he had only three feet of line to go when it parted,” the destroyer reported. Finally he returned to radio in the deck- hou and s uggest we wait until weather abates. I don’t need those items that badly. You fellows are taking | a worse beating and suffering than ; 1 am.” The destroyer said the Flying Enterprise was relling heavily in squalls driven before winds rang- ing up to 63 miles an hour. At times, the Weeks reported, yas heeled over 80 de- st flat on its side. s ived another stormy dawn after five defiant and fright- ening nights alone on the Flying Enterprise, a 6,711-ton freighter built during the war for Pacific coastal trade. Help was on the way. The Tur- moil, one of the biggest deep sea tugs in Britain, battled through high seas and hail squalls, expect- ing to complete her 300-mile dash from Falmouth to the floundering ship sometime tonight. Sea-faring Britons, proud of any man who stands up to the anger of the seas, named Carlsen ‘‘Cap- tain Enterprise’? and avidly read the front-page accounts describing his defiant battle against the stormy North Atlantic. Carlsen, a Danish-born seaman from Woodbridge, N. J., apparert- ly secured “himself to the bridge of the tossing vessel. Its port rail id was smashed and heavy seas washed ag the deck. Although its batteries were weakening, Carlsen’s radio tele- graph equipment enabled him to keep in touch with the destroyer, asstring his guardian he still was with his ship and its cargo to keep its value from falling into the; hands of anyone able to take it | in tow Whether the Flying Enterprise towed to port was an open question. i Frederick Parker, captain of the urmoil and veteran of 45 years made no promises. Sizing up his chore, Parker said: | It will be a massive job, a ticklish job | It means first getting about #2 nen aboard to handle tow ropes.” | rhose from the tug’s 27-man crew picked to go aboard the Fly- 2 Enterprise will need some of the qualities of human flies to stick to a deck tilted 60 degrees, of horizontal, and pitehing like a chip.
