FOUR
MEN WENT ASTRAY
From Sch. Independence
on the Banks July 4
SEARCH WAS UNSUCCESSFUL
Two Days Gale Followed Bank of Fog
Sadly the flag on the sch. Independence fluttered at half mast
this
morning, telling its own story of four
hardy fellows of her crew who had gone from her
side and not
returned - missing on the cold windy sea,
150 miles from the shore
of Newfoundland.
Eagerly those on shore waited to hear the news
from the crew
as they came to land. And this is what they
heard, On July 4, the glorious Fourth, the crew
left the
vessel and rowed off in different direction to set the
trawls. Then the gray fog rolled silently in,
enveloping all
in its shadow. The horn was [?] going, and one
by one the dories guided by its hoarse, but
welcome sound,
came back to the vessel; all but two, and for
these followed days of eager, anxious waiting and
watching
and searching.
William McDonald and Charles Olsen were in one
dory and Bert
Dunbar and James Norton in the other.
It was in the afternoon when they strayed from the
vessel
and there were high hopes of picking them up
next day if the fog rolled away, but alas, when
Saturday
came it brought a heavy gale, which continued
until Monday.
The hope for the men is that they may have reached
the coast
of Newfoundland,
120 miles distant, or
been picked up by a passing vessel.
McDonald was a single man, about 34 years of age
and boarded
on Commercial Street
[in Gloucester, MA.]
Charles Olsen was 42 years old, and has a wife and
three
children residing on Burnham
Street
[Gloucester, MA.]
Norris Burton Dunbar, or Bert, as he was most
commonly
known, was about 38 [or 33] years old and
resided at [41?] East Main Street
[Gloucester,
MA.], with his wife and three children.
James Norton was about 45 years old and has a wife
and three
children residing at 55 East Main
Street [Gloucester,
MA.]

MISTOOK THE SOUND
Missing Men of Sch. Independence
Rowed to Leeward.
Wainwright's
Men Rowed to Windward and Reached Vessel.
No news has yet been heard from the four missing
men from
sch. Independence
and although Capt. Cusick
has not yet given up hope, yet it is felt that
something
should soon be heard from them, provided they have
not been picked up and carried to some out of the
way port,
which is quite possible.
The story of how the men went astray, as told by
the crew,
shows how easy it is for fisherman to lose their
vessel in the fog. The crew went to set the trawls
between
their own schooner and the Richard Wainwright.
After the fog struck in the two dories met two
from the
Richard Wainwright, who were also astray.
Soon they heard the sound of the gun or cannon on
the Independence.
The later's men thought the
sound
came from leeward while the stray mariner of the
Wainwright
were equally certain that it came from to windward.
The eight men discussed the point each party
thinking it was
right.
Finally the Independence
men set the dory [?] and went off to leeward while the Wainwright's men
rowed
to
windward and after a while succeeding in making
out a vessel
which proved to be the Independence. They
[---------------------------------------------]
search was
made for the missing men who sailed to leeward but without success. Text Picture

1941 by
Gibbs Gas Engine Co., Jacksonville, Fla.,
and commissioned 14 June 1941 at Norfolk,
Lieutenant S. W. Carr, USNR, in command.
From 7 July to 26 August 1941 Cotinga

for Argentia,
Newfoundland,
she was diverted into Casco Bay, Maine,
where she conducted minesweeping operations through 7 December 1941.

11'8"; s. 12 k.; cpl. 48; a. 1 3"; cl. Aloe)
Elder (YN-15) was launched 19 June 1941 by
Marietta
Manufacturing Co., Point Pleasant, W. Va.; and placed in service 12
November
1941, Lieutenant T. D. E. Martin, USNR, in charge. She was redesignated
AN-20
on 20 January 1944.
Serving in the 1st Naval District Elder laid and
tended nets
at Boston until 15 March 1942, then
sailed to Portland,
Maine, to serve as controlling
gate vessel in Hussey Sound. She was commissioned 15 December 1942,
Lieutenant
D. H. Morse, USNR, in command.
Elder returned to Boston
25
June 1943, and sailed 8 August, for San Diego,
Pearl Harbor, and Funafuti, Ellice Islands,
arriving 15 November. She assembled, launched, and tended nets there,
and after
the capture of the Gilberts, sailed to Tarawa
in December for mooring and net operations off that island, Makin, and
Abemama.
Departing the Gilberts in February 1944 with IsCT-247 in tow for
Kwajalein, she
laid and cared for nets in the Marshalls
until the end of the year.
After an overhaul on the west coast, Elder
returned to the
South Pacific to repair nets at the fleet base at Manus, arriving there
30
April 1945. The following month she got underway for Luzon,
searching for and towing the disabled merchant tanker SS McKitterick
Hills en
route. She delivered the tanker to Mangarin Bay,
Mindoro, then continued to Subic Bay
for voyage repairs. Elder remained in the Philippines for
the rest of the war. She laid sonar buoy moorings to protect against
Japanese
submarines entering Subic Bay; made a sounding survey of North Channel
between
Corregidor and Bataan; and in September began plotting the position of
known
wrecks in Manila Harbor.
In October she returned to Subic Bay
to remove
and salvage net defense.
Elder sailed back to Corregidor
in November 1945 for a unique assignment. Until May 1946 she conducted
diving
operations in Caballo Bay
to recover thousands of silver pesos, Philippine currency which had
been dumped
in the bay to prevent its capture by the Japanese. Remaining in the
Philippines
Elder operated from her base at Subic Bay
on a
variety of assignments. She assisted in the decommissioning of small
craft;
maintained moorings; transported passengers and cargo between
Philippine ports;
and occasionally escorted small craft to Okinawa.
Elder returned to the west coast 3 August 1948 for
duty at
the Naval Npt Depot at Tiburon, Calif.
On 23 May 1949 she sailed for Alaskan waters where she conducted buoy
operations at Adak; carried a scientific party from Great
Sitkin Island
to Adak; and transported three Navy petty officers to service the
weatherstation of Simeonoff Island.
She returned to her base at Tiburon 13 October 1949.
In 1950 Elder was ordered to the western Pacific,
but on 11
March when a week out of Pearl Harbor,
a
serious fire broke out in the engine room. With all headway lost and no
water
pressure, Elder appeared doomed. But sound training and Navy
"know-how," combined with determined courage in the ship's intrepid
damage control parties, subdued the raging flames. Her engines damaged
beyond repair,
the stricken net tender drifted helplessly for a week before assistance
in the
form of Comstock (LSD-19) and Piedmont
(AD-17)
arrived on 18 March. The next day Elder was taken in tow by Deliver
(ARS-23)
and began the long slow haul to Pearl Harbor.
Her extensive repairs complete, Elder sailed from
Pearl
Harbor 26 January 1951 for net operations at Yokosuka, Japan, a key operating
base in the Korean war. She returned to Tiburon 27 January 1952, and
except for
occasional cruises to Eniwetok, Kwajalein, and Guam
for net and buoy operations, served on the west coast. In April 1954
she was
assigned to the 13th Naval District for training duty with the harbor
defense
unit of the Pacific Northwest. She
was
decommissioned there 18 December 1959.
Elder received one battle star for World War II
service.
Adopt
(AM-137: dp. 850; l. 184'6"; b. 33'; dr. 9'9"; s.
14.8 k.; cpl. 104; a. 1 3", 4 40mm.; cl. Admirable)
Originally projected as AMC-114 but redesignated
prior to
the start of construction, Adopt (AM-137) was laid down on 8 April 1942
at
Tampa, Fla., by the Tampa Shipbuilding Co., Inc.; launched on 18
October 1942;
sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth H. Hastings; and commissioned on 31 May
1943, Lt.
Frank Robert Edrington in command.
After conducting shakedown training off Key
West, Fla., the
minesweeper proceeded to the Norfolk Navy Yard for post-shakedown
availability
and then began a series of minesweeping tests and exercises at Little
Creek,
Va., and at Solomons Island, Md. These operations occupied her into
early
September, when she sailed for the west coast. Adopt made a brief stop
at Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba,
before
transiting the Panama Canal and
joining the
Pacific Fleet. She reached San Diego, Calif.,
on 25 September.
Adopt operated at San Diego as an escort ship through
26 May 1944. That same
month, she reported for duty to the Commander of the Western Sea
Frontier. She
left the west coast on 6 June and shaped a course for Pearl Harbor. The ship took part in a 10-day
period of antisubmarine
warfare exercises in Hawaiian waters under the auspices of Commander,
Task
Force 1. On 23 June, she departed Hawaii
in a
convoy bound for Alaska.
The minesweeper reached Adak,
Alaska, on 29 June. She was
subsequently based at the Naval Operating Base, Kuluk
Bay,
Alaska. During her service in
Alaskan waters, Adopt carried out tactical and gunnery drills, held
minesweeping exercises, and provided convoy escort services. In June
1945, she
steamed into the anchorage at Cold Harbor,
Alaska,
to begin training exercises for a crew of Russian seamen until
mid-July. On 19
July
1945, Adopt was decommissioned
and
transferred to the Soviet Union under
the
terms of lend-lease. The vessel later served the Soviet Navy as T-552.
The Navy
redesignated the vessel MSF-7 on 7 February 1955. The Naval Vessel
Register of
1 January 1958 stated that the ship had been destroyed by the Russians
by
demolition and noted that an appropriate settlement had been agreed
upon by the
two nations.
