‘Glorious’ Survivors llescribe llarrowing Experience At Sea

LO Two survivors of the aircraft car- rier Glorious, recovering from their grim ordeal two months after the Wilfohap was sunk in naval action off tlie coast of Norway, today de- scribed their harrowing experiences.

Squadron Leader K. B. B. Cross of Hayling Islan-d told an inter- viewer they drifted on rafts and in small boats three nights and two (lays in bitter cold on the Arctic Waters before a Norwegian tramp- sliip sighted and rescued them. The tramp searched for four hours and picked up 39 officers and men. Only five were alive. Cross who said his legs were so badly frost bitten that he will not. be able to stand for another two months, described how the rafts and boats "tossed about in the icy Bald waters until things appeared to be getting very desperate." Then tlie tramp appeared. A neighbor of Cross at. the hospital, Sub-Lent. Eric Baldwin, describ- ed the ordeal tcrsely as "ternbly ccld and lonely."
