Eastwind's crane takes up slack and begins to drag stranded aircraft power unit Closer to Sh'p so that 'l can be hmsled aboard' Line isattachedto power unit so that it can be dragged flank speed toward the reported position of the ice floe, about seven miles from her. Then it was learned that the unloading ledge, and not the runway, had broken up. Scattered on ice floes ranging from ten to 200 feet in diameter were barrels, sleds, prefabricated building parts, tractors, and an auxiliary power unit. In a dangerous touch-and-go maneuver the East- wind's officers and men succeeded in lowering a boat and landing a work party on a 100 footdiameter floe, containing -an auxiliary power unit, and a caterpiller tractor. The big cat hung precariously with one tread in the water over the edge of the ice cake. Slings were fastened to the two and the Eastwind swung her crane out, ready to hook on. Just before the 269 foot cutter reached the floe, another piece of ice tapped it and the tractor slid into the deep waters of the sound. However, the auxiliary power unit valued near S20,000 was successfully hoisted aboard. Also saved during the salvage operations which continued throughout the night were other tractors, sleds and refabricated materials believed to be part , P of the nuclear reactor being assembled at McMurdo base.
