Unfortunately for me I was not there. I was over at the Court- house. Staffer Dorothy Raymer and photographer Ellis Finch listened to Burns’ tip, but only for a mo- ment. Dorothy grabbed her pencil, Ellis his camera and off they went to Faraldo’s Flying seryice for a piane to take them to search for the sinking vessel Even though we were “up” for the day - the newspaper term for passing our deadline, Burns’ tip enabled Finch to get a crack, not at the scene of the sinking shrimper, but another scoop. While up in Faraldo’s plane with instructor Ed Maxwell, the pilot, he spotted the rescue operations of two navy helicopter pilots whose engine had just failed them and forced a landing in three inches of water.

The two leaped over the side of their sub when they saw a man clinging to the side of an air-drop- ped life raft about 100 feet away. There was a report of sharks in the vicinity, but the submen dis- regarded that. When they reached the raft they found an unidentified blimp crewman fully clothed and too exhausted to get up on the raft. Hallowell said, ‘He had been in the water about an hour and 15 minutes and he just didn’t have the strength to get up on the big raft. He told us, “Boys, I’m get- ting pretty tired. It’s a good thing you came along.” They towed him to the submarine where the rest of the blimp men were bing picked up from other rafts.
