The Novas skipper. Grant West. 84. and crew members Frank An- derson. 36. and Frank Pulling died during the long battle with thirst and hunger.

The Nova set out last June l0 on s coastal fishing trip. It ran out of gasoline and later, during a storm. its saik and sextant were washed overboard.

With only a day's provisions. West, Anderson. Pulling and Oush brgan 1.000 miles of drifting Af- ter weeks of horror, the Nova was wrecked on the Isle of Pines. 70 miles southeast of Noumea. New Caledonia. Only Pulling and Cush remained alive then and Pulling, died shortly afterwards.

When their rations were gone. the four sailors had attempted to keep alive by spearlng fish with a. fork and using barnacles scraped frcm the hull of their boat for e

soup. But Anderson died of malaria

Mr. Churchill listened and nod- ded as Mr. Bevln's review went on and the Foreign Secretary more and more began to address 111s own party rather than the opposition. Sometimes he prac- tically turned his back on the Conservatives and faced the Labor men and women who were clearly walling to be convinced.

Mr. Bevin was able to hold them until he mentioned Greece. Then a few began to repeat the famil- iar grumble that Britain should get out of that cormvtry.

The whole business of Greece has caused enabarrassmmt to the Labor Party. Whatever the jus- tlce of the case. Labor members found it hard to make clear to some meetings why British troops should be involved in fights with Greek leftists. how the Greek King came to be restored. and supervision of the Greek election was necessary.

Most Labor members loyslly accepted that intervention was the only action possible in the circumstances, but a few think Britain should have got out of Greece long ago. Those few never miss a chance cf complaining when Greece is mentioned.

In ntost provinces many firms report that better than 80 per cent of their employees have been buying bonds. Headquarters’ examination of ll/"lse purchases during the first l0 days shows that surprisingly few citizens are buying the $50 denomination.
