Soon after Dr. Rommell’s arrival, a patrol plane, which had put out from a shore base, reached the scene and dropped a package of blood plasma, wrapped in water­ proof covering, on the sea beside the second destroyer. It was recov­ ered and taken aboard the Kearn­ ey. Dr. Rommell used the blood plasma to give Frontakowski three transfusions. The sailor’s condi­ tion, which had been considered very grave, began to show steady improvement.
