Thousands Greet Endeavour On Arrival At Home Port

20,000 Persons At Gosport Pay Tribute To Sturdy Craft And Seamen Who Conquered

(By James B. Heston) (Associated Press Staff Writer)

GOBPORT. England. Oct. 1- ‘The yacht Endeavour I bobbed at anchor alongside hcr home dock tonight, safely at the end oi hcr stormy crossing of the Atlantic under sail.

Some 20.000 persons turned out. to pay tribute to the sturdy craft and the seamen who brought her home under hcr own power.

Captain Ned Heard. on deck during the storm, was swept over the side of the yacht by lngh seas but was saved when he caught a loose wire and was pulled hack on deck.

Then for six hours the yacht tossed like a chip on the moun-

tainous waves. Her wheel was lashed and sea anchor dropped to help her weather the blow. Torrents of water poured over her decks.

When daylight broke the next morning the Viva was nowhere in sight. The Endeavoui-‘s radio operator tried in vain to con- tact eid with his weak short wave wireless.

Captain Heard decided to head for his home port. So they sailed east, some days averaging six knots, some days less. Snatches of news came to them over their wireless receiving set on their monotonous cruise.

"We certainly were glad when the Cheyenne saw us and wc knew we would he reported," the Skipper said.

The Endeavour I raced three years ago for the America's Cup and retumed to the United States again this year for the

racing season.
