St. Louis Post Dispatch CREW IS RESCUED BUT SKIPPER STAYS WITH CRIPPLED SHIP TOKYO. June . ' i lUPi The United States destroyer George Mackenzie res- cued 22 crewmen from a tanker stranded in the Pacific Wednesday, but the Greek skipper and five of his men — including two Americans — chose to stand by their ship despite the menace of an approach- ing typhoon. The Liberian tanker Sa.xon Star was hard aground on tiny Tarama island, 300 miles east of Formosa. A Navy an- nouncement said the ship ' s decks were awash and all below-deck compartments were flooded when the Mackenzie reach- ed Tarama. Lifeboats brought all of the tanker ' s crew, which reported no casual- ties, to the destroyer, but Capt. Nicholas Pontikos asked to return ashore. It is mv duty to remain with my ship. he said. Five crewmen who volun- teered to stay with him also were put ashore on Tarama. A typhoon was expected to hit the island within 24 hours. Comdr. C. W. Bundy of Edmonds, Wash., is captain of the Mackenzie. Men of the Mackenzie who made ship-to- shore rescue trips included Machinist ' s Mate George Black. Hannibal. Mo.

There might be more people selling more things some- where else in the world, but the num- ber per cubic foot is nowhere so great as it is in Hong Kong, The colony was at its festive best when the Mac arrived. It was Coro- nation time. Great golden crowns festooned with red velvet topped every major building. Flags and shields lined the streets. At night the sprawling waterfront reflected the glow of a million lights, and blazing torches throughout the city were fair game for every camera fan in the Far East.
