Whaleboat, Tossed Over
Wreckage, Returns To Save
Crew of American Freighter!
Tokyo U.R) A small whale-
boat, attempting to rescue seven
men trapped on a wrecked Amer
ican freighter in the sea off Hon
shu island, was thrown complete
ly over the wreck by giant
waves, but returned to complete
the daring rescue.
The Navy told the story Tues
day. It said the freighter Wil
liam Eaton, abandoned by all
her crew except Capt. Fred A.
Solomon, of Walnut Creek,
Calif., and Engineer John B.
Williamson, San Jose, Calif.,
broke in half in stormy seas after
going aground April 14.
Five Sailors Volunteer
Five sailors from the Navy
tug Arikara, standing by to as
sist the Eaton when the storm
subsided, volunteered to go
aboard to help the two stranded
seamen.
On a second try the whale
boat reached the wreck, but
sank. Its five-man crew scram
bled onto the ship with Solomon
and Williamson.
Another volunteer crew took
another whaleboat, with a life
raft in tow just in case, to try
again. A giant wave lifted it and
the life raft completely over
the ship and dropped it on the
other side.
The whaleboat and its five
man crew turned around and
came back through the wallow
ing waves to the side of the
Eaton again. This time all seven
men aboard the Eaton were
taken off and brought safely to
the Navy tug.

Searchers rescued two 13-year-
old boys early Tuesday from
water-logged Cherokee cave be
neath the Tennessee river after
the youths had spent nearly 12
hours lost in the tortuous tunnel
Police and volunteers found
the youths, Bob Marshall and
Ronald Finger, more than 400
feet back in the narrow, twisting
passageway that winds for some
four miles under the river and
the city of Knoxville.
Lost Once Before
The Finger youth's family
said the two had been lost in
the cave once before, but found
their way out after spending
several hours wandering aim
lessly in the dark.
Bob's dog, Spot, may have
saved the boys' lives, police said.
A passerby, Roy French, saw
Spot standing guard over the
cave mouth and found the two
youths' bicycles when he came
to investigate.
Ronald's mother, Mrs. Carrie
Finger, collapsed when told of
the Incident. The family said

180 hp CHRYSLER 8 FIRST
IN 3 CLASSES IN EGMWRIffl!
Here is truly dramatic proof thnt Chrysler's great
new Kirprower 180 III' V-8 engine design sets nn
entirely new standard of elliciency nmoni? American
passenger car engines!
In this annual economy test, rigidly su)iervised,
and limited strictly to stock car entrants, cars
comix-ting are divided, by price and size, into 1 1
standard classes. The route, front Los Angeles to
Sun Valley, covered 1,415 miles of every Kissihlo
kind of driving. Average speed for all cars was just
under 41 miles per hour.
And in 3 of the 11 classes, the Chrysler V-S engine
Was best (or gasoline mileage.
In Class "F", this magnificent new engine won
first place for a Saratoga 6-passenger sedan (125? j
inch wheelbase, 4010 pounds). In Class "H", it
won first honors for a Saratoga model 8-passenger
sedan (139Winch wheelbase, 4510 pounds). And
in Uie top price and size, Class "1", it was again
first, in a Chrysler. Crown Imperial Sedan (145 J 3
inch wheelbase, 5360 pounds).
To travel these substantial cars at this speed
under these conditions gives additional proof, we
believe, that here is the finest and most etficient
engine ever put into an American passenger car!
W i: INVITE YOU TO DRIVE
THIS EINCINE, YOIRSELF...
The same engine which has just scored these re
markable accomplishments is no farther from you
than your own Chrysler Dealer. He will welcome
the chance to let you take the wheel and feel for
yourself what Chrysler has done . . . not only in
Fin-Power engine ierformance, but in full-time
lwer steering, power brakes, new Orifiow shock
absorbers, and passenger comfort ... to deserve
the title: "Finest Car America Has Yet Produced!"

Quizzed by Police
Muddy and tired, the boys
were questioned by police and

station WROL and first of the
searchers to reach the boys, said
they told him they had heard
about the cave "and just wanted
to see it for ourselves."
Flare Supply Runs Oui
They said they became lost
when a supply of flares ran out
and were afraid to go on because
of pitfalls in the cave, some 75
feet deep.
" 'We had no lights and we
were in a dead end passage
way,' " Mountcastle quoted the
Marshall boy. " 'We promised
each other if we ever got out
we'd never go In the cave
