The exposure-weakened seamen said that another 1a crewmen of their vessel-the LIBZ-ton Carlton -had set out in a. second lifeboat when the ship was sunk by an It-- alian submarine Dec. 20 and notli- ing was known of their fate. One by one, they said the men in their lifeboat died of exposure as winter winds and icy spray lashed them clay after day. Some of the group huddled in the toss- ing little craft went mad, the sur- vivors declared. Drinking salt water hurried the end for some of the men, and those who reached here today aboard a British freighter said thev died in agony. ' The four rescued, all British, were hustled off to hospital here as soon as the rescue vessel dock- ed. Two of thcm had their feet badly frozen. and all were suffer- ing from the ravages of exposure.
