The barnacle-encrusted ketch Or- coda rode quietly at anchor. in this historic Devon port Saturday, marking the end of a 57-day salt- uater saga of two adventurers from Canada who conquered the Atlantic after being given up for lost by nearly everyone but their one?

Arthur tB,erll Smith, 32. of To- mutt). and Al Battcrsby. 29. were lulled up the River Dart Satur- day to a hero's welcome. The Or- Hltla accepted a tow into the port at Salcombe after two reporters um tumbled into the sea accom- piiniled what the stormy Atlantic l.rlx-d to do.

The presence of the iwn Eng- il-lllllCn caused Smith and Eat- wsby to change their minds about making straight for Dart- mouth. When it was apparent the nmicomers were ill. Smith sent out distress signals in morse code hr flashlight and the coast guard wit a low to bring the Orenda to more She was later towed to

The adventurers left Sydney, N. S., Sept. 1 for England. Three weeks later. Sept. 22. the liner American sighted the Orenda and reported it a derelict in mid-At- lantic.

The Liberian freighter Marl- blanca reported Oct. 16 it had sighted the Orenda 500 miles off the English coast four days ear- lier and offered to give its occu- pants a lift into port.

Smith and Battersby refused. but accepted food and materials to repair their tattered sails and wind-torn masts.

GLAD TO BE ALIVE

They were welcomed on arrival in Dartmouth at the south em- bankment here by Mayor Bertie Lavers and his daughter. Doreen. A crowd of 300 to 400 persons cheered as Smith smiled shyly and Battersby said:

"We're very glad to be alive." it was an impromptu occasion. Smith. who built the Orenda in his backyard, came ashore without shoes and was still standing in blue woollen socks as a car drew up to take the men and their wivcs to a small reception given by the mayor.

MYSTERY EXPLAINED 4Battersby explained why the liner America saw no sign of life when she circled the Orenda for 40 minutes.

..”We had shipped a lot of water and had been pumping like mad to keep afloat. The following mor- nmiz we were just about best so we went below to sleep. Any ship that passed us then would quite Tightly have seen no one aboard. As it was. we were certainly no more than half alive."

in welcoming the sailors Mayor Lovers said he was pleased to greet ”our two friends from Can- ada."

Smith said it was itwonderlul to be back on solid ground again." Battersby seconded "we expec- ted a welcome but nothing like this. We were both very close to tears."
