Two Badly Burned Seamen Landed Alter Mercy Race

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld. (CF)-Two dead and two badly burned Fin- ni.-h seamen were landed here Monday by the U.S. Coast Guard v.-utter Chincoteague after a three- day mercy race bedevilled by raging winds and towering seas.

The Chincoteague was diverted from weather station duty Thurs- day to take aboard the four vic- tims of an engine room explosion aboard the 413 - foot Finnish freighter Finn Trader about 650 miles eastnortheast of St. John's.

While Cmdr. Raymond P. Mll- ler of Norfolk. Va.. pushed the Chicoteague as fast as he dared through sens up to 50 feet high. a hospital team worked desperv ntely below to save the lives of the badly burned Finns. Eiis E. I-Iiknri, 36-year-old second en- gineer of the Finn Trader. was pronounced dead of third degree burns.

Filjo J. Oksnngen. 43. died 14 hours later of burns as bad as Eikari's.

The other two men are ex- pected to recover. They have first. second and third degree burns covering 30 to 40 per cent of their bodies.

First engineer Tieve J. Kosenen was listed in fair condition and crew member Tauno 0. Nurml in good condition. INSTRUCTED BY RADIO

The Chincoteague covered the 150 miles between her weather sta- tion position and the Finn Trader in about eight hours. after receiv- lng the distress signal at 5 p.m. Thursday.

Capt. Miller said it was too sloppy and too risky. to attempt to transfer the men in the dark. The C” coteague stood by and gave the Finn Trader instructions for dressing the burns by radio.

with light came a slight break in hhe weather and Ensign Peter Carson and his lifeboat crew msda tour trips across 500 yards of heaving ocean to transfer the men one at a time. Then began a healing marathon for senior as- sistant surgeon Bernard L. Kaye of New Haven, Conn.. making his first trip as Chincoteague'a doc- tor. and chief hospital corpsman Carl F. Baker of long Beach. Calif.

Lt. Kaye said "the main pro- blem was to get them over the burn shock period. It was impor- tant to get the right fluids into
