Seven
Dramatically Rescued From Stricken Freighter
Yokosuka, Japan, Apr. 27.
Seven men were pulled safely off the shattered stern section of the freighter William Eaton by the US Navy late Saturday in a heroic last-chance rescue after a series of death-defying failures.
Thus ended a peril-packed but vain effort to save the American ship which ran aground 12 days ago off To- Shima, an island 30 miles from the Japanese coast.

"navvy." Strange
to say, the word originates from the Latin "navis,” ship, because the labourers (many of them Irish) who were to dig the employed beds of the inland waterways were called "navigators," the idea of canals being entirely new to the British mind.. Out of "naviga. tor" came the crisp "navvy."
