Thirty-two terrible hours later Commander Henry Coyle's Coast Guard cutter Mendota picked up the last of the 21 survivors who clung to bobbing bits of debris. Captain Coufopandelis bore a painful gash on the bridge of his nose, the bite of a sailor who shared the captain's improvised raft and went mad from drinking salt water. The others, six of whom were saved by the C. D. Mallory tanker Swiftsure, told a gruesome tale. The sea had suddenly become alive with sharks. Helpless comrades could only look on as the man-eaters tore the bodies...

...Broadhurst to advocate. Said she: "Nurses and doctors will no longer be forced to wait until a rash or fever appears before they know whether a sore throat signifies merely a cold or presages the measles. They will now be able to place a specimen of mucus from nose and throat stained by nigrosin under a microscope and tell in a moment whether or not the virus bodies that cause the measles are present. More important still, they will be able to detect carriers-people who carry the virus bodies about with them, infecting others, yet who are themselves immune...
