After three days Viva returned to Newport to announce that Endeavour I had once again snapped her towline-this time in a hurricane gale. After a week of frenzied search by the U. S. Coast Guard, Lloyd's of London announced that she had been sighted by the British tanker Amastra 750 miles off the Azores, tolled its historic Lutine Bell at the good...
