However, heavy seas and a di- minishing fuel supply put this ship, the Weather Watcher, out of the picture. It radioed that it was making little headway, and “‘be- cause of the fuel situation it will serve no useful purpose to pro- ceed further.” It said it would head to its regular North Atlantic weather station.

The Kruess reported by radio that it had spotted a plank drift- ing in the water. But ice and the waves prevented pickiog il up, so there was no way of telling whether it was from the Hans Tedtoft. The scene is about 40 miles off Cape Farewell, the surthern tip of Greenland. It is a stretch of sea made perilous by Lergs and floes that break away from Greenland's glaciers.

The Campbell. approached the area cautiously through the ice- bergs and gathered floes being pushed southward by the polar winds. NEW STORM ON WAY The coast guard sent a warn- ing to the Campbell] ihat a new storm was moving into the area. The cutter, a veteran of the North Atlantic, first ssarched an area south of the Hans Hedtoft’s last reported position, since ‘t was thought likely it wouid drift in that direction if stiil afloat. The Danish ship in one S O S) had said water was flooding the engine room.

It was finally agreed late Sat- urday that the number on board the Danish vessel was 9%, al- though earlier reports from “the U.S. Coast Guard had placed the crew and passenger total at 130 According to the list now avail able at- the RCAF rescue head- quarters, there were 40 crew members and 55 passengers aboard, including 19 women and six or seven children, all Danes or Greenlanders. RISING MENACE The Campbell radioed that the Kruess was heading south at nightfall to escape the rising men- ace of the icebergs. The Kruéss had kept. at the search—without success—through the night and the succeeding few hours of the short northern day. Not a word had come, from the Hans Hedtoft since its last SOS late Friday saying it was slowly sinking. The Greenland Jepariment in Copenhagen sai@ the ship carried three tight-alicy—meta}—hfoboats, adequate in themselv2s to handle all aboard. Each had a_ hand- operated radio transmitter. The ice that had apparently spelled disaster for The Hans Hedtoft presented a rising peril. “Ice conditions make aavigation in search area very hazardous,” | * the Campbell radiced. ‘‘Intensive | air search seems indicated.” } RADAR IMPOSSIBLE The navy superconstellation. being relieved Sunday night by another from Argentia, Nfld. re- ported to the Campbell that the icebergs and the ueavy waves made an adequate radar search impossible. The waves and ice cause blips on the radar screen. Three other U.S. Air Force Planes were ordered in from Goose Bay, Labrador, to take up the search.
