Out of this counterclockwise rotation with a deep low pressure area at its core was gradually born a tropical hurricane which with a yell of fury headed northwest toward the U. S. coast line 1,000 miles away. As it skirted south of Bermuda it kicked up enormous seas, sent Bermudians scurrying to cover, kept three large liners from putting in at Hamilton.

Sailor Charles ("Bud") Cowart had straddled a toggle above the ring at the end of the cable, was taking two bowline hitches about his waist. Several times' Lieut.
