An engine room crewman identified only by the last name Kamayishi was killed, apparently by drowning. Capt. Scizo Ishakawa, 44, or dered the Kokoku Maru abandoned about five hours after the colli sion. The vessel's two lifeboats were tossed about by 6 to 10 feet swells. Ishakawa, his first mate and two crewmen were the last to leave the vessel, jumping into the Pacific and swimming to a lifeboat. Then as dawn began to break, fhe hazardous task of bringing them aboard the cutters Coman che and Magnolia began. The Comanche, under the com mand of Cmdr. David Webb, Seat tle, made three passes at the life boat with Ishakawa and 23 sailors. On the third try a rope was made fast. The Japanese captain was car rying his ship's soaked log with him and as the lifeboat pulled up to me Lomancne, he tossed it on the deck. Crow Mombors Rescued The heavy swells pitched the cutter and lifeboat 10 to 12 feet. As one crested the top of a wave, the other dipped into a trough. And as they passed each other. Coast Guardsmen grasped the drenched Japanese crewmen and wrestled them over the rail. Many of the Japanese were barc-chcslcd, having torn off their shirts in anticipation of having to swim for it. But as they scram bled over the rail they wore wide grins and shook hands with their American rescuers. Coast Guardsmen immediately gave the crewmen clothing and took thorn below to their mess for coffee and cigarettes. "The operation was a little tick lish at times." said Commander Webb laconically. By now the Kokoku Maru had drifted 15 miles to a point near the Farallon Islands due west of San Francisco. The commercial tug Sea Fox, with the tug Sea Lion standing by, put a line aboard the Japanese vessel and pumps from the Comanche were brought into play. One of the injured crewmen was reported to have been struck in the abdomen as he left his ship. The nature of the other injuries was not known. 353 M- ."
