PSQXYXC Dreamer SAIGON - CUPD - A sailor sleeping on the deck of a U.S. aircraft carrier rolled off into the South China Sea Saturday and spent nine hours treading water before he was rescued Roy Deardoff of Bend, Ore., a fireman aboard the USS Hancock, was wearing only his shorts when he pitched off into the sea about 4 a.m. Saturday. . Deardoff lost his shorts when he hit. The destroyer USS Lof- berg, two radar tracking planes and a helicopter swept a 150-square-mile area for nine hours in the search for -111111.-1 Has rude awakening Drifts or 9 Hours At 12:35 p.m. the sailor was spotted from the signal bridge of the Lofberg. Within minutes Deardoff was aboard the destroyer exhaust- ed but otherwise in good con- dition. I've been trying to catch you guys all morning, Dear- doff said. His first request was for a glass of water. WST' THE DETROIT NEWS - in--. i iii., ,. , l t W- ., . fu- f - f w.
