ABOARD THE 8. 6. EUROPA AT
8EA, Dec. 19. (AP) Sixteen men
perilously near death on the storm
crushed freighter Ststo owe their Uvea
today to a gallant lifeboat crew from
the passenger liner New York.
Amidst storm lashed seas, the
Slsto's crew was takeji from the
sinking freighter late last night,
while four vessels. Including the
palatial Europa, stood by playing
searchlights 'on the scene. .
Passengers Watch Feat.
The dramatic victory of the New
Tork'a tiny lifeboat over the North
Atlantic was accomplished as virtu
ally every person on the Europe
watched anxiously the progress of
the rescue craft to and from the
freighter.
There was a great shout of Joy
from the Europa as the lifeboat
reached the side of the New York In
safety.
It had been a precarious trip for
the small rescue boat, for the rolling
seas tossed the craft like a bobbing
cork. It reached the side of the crip
pled Sisto, tyowever, and the mem
bers of her crew, weary from long
hours of battling the savage storm,
dropped quickly into the lifeboat.
Then began the even more danger
out trip back to the New York, for
this time the boat was laden almost
beyond capacity. Although lights
from the surrounding vessels pierced
the darkness, there were times when
the lifeboat was scarcely less visible
from the Europa and only an occa
sional flash of an oar could be seen.
Rescue S'one Too Soon.
The rescue of the 16 men of the
Sisto, a Norwegian boat, was accom
plished apparently none too soon,
for the little vessel was In a help
leas condition when the Europa
reached the scene of distress, ap
proximately 300 miles off the coast
of Ireland.
The Slsto's rudder had been twisted
Into a useless thing, and her whole
superstructure had been crushed by
giant waves. Her lifeboats had been
washed away and the ship was In
dire need when the New York, Hamburg-American
liner, launched her
lifeboat. . ,
The Sisto was further endangered
by her shifting cargo of lumber,
which had caused her to list badly.
It seemed to be only a matter ol
hours before the little vessel would
succumb to the sea. She was left-In
a sinking condition, with one feebl:
light showing.
The New York continued on her
way to Cherbourg' soon after thr
Slsto's crew had been taken aboard.
The Europa and the other two vessel?
at the scene, the Cunard-Whtte Star
liner Auranla and the British tanker
Mob 1 loll also resumed their courses
Oil Falls Quiet Sea.
It was the Mob 1 loll which had
stood by the Sisto for more than 18
hours, held by the heavy seas from
taking the crew off the freighter
Tons of oil poured on the water
by the Mobiloll had failed to calm
the water and the tanker finally
sent out calls for assistance which
brought the New York, the Auranla
and the Europa rushing to the spot
Anxiety gripped thk Europa's pas
sengers when the huge liner turned
her prow toward the Sisto, 140 mile
away. As she pushed forward through
terrific waves, passengers In evening
dress bundled themselves In heavy
clothing and came on deck, peering
into the darkness to see the stricken
freighter. '
Vessels Race to Scene.
Then In the distance they -caught
a glimpse of another ship hurrying
to the rescue. As the Europa neared
the spot , where the Sisto lay wal
lowing In the waves, two other ves
sels were seen, the Mobiloll and
the Auranla.
The four ships were about half a
mile from the Sisto when the New
York sent her lifeboat over the side
They dared not come closer because
of the high seas.
The Europa's big rubber boat had
been made ready during the run to
the Blsto. but it was not needed.
Members of the Ascanla's crew
said a 90 to 120-mlle gale was blow
ing and wares were running SO to
50 feet high while the rescue was
being made. Captain J. O. P. Blsset
of the Ascnnla said It was the beat
piece of rescue work he had ever
seen.
