Sick Seaman Is
Rescued by CG
Men of the local Coast Guard
Air Detachment braved dangerous
weather conditions last Sunday in
a successful attempt to evacuate
a seriously ill seaman aboard a
Liberian freighter.
The Liberian freighter SS Mad
ison Friendship requested assist
ance in removing the very ill sea
man, 22-year old Juergen Schmiel
of Germany, early Sunday morn
ing. They were at sea and the clos
est port was Dutch Harbor. How
ever the ship was unfamiliar with
the area and did not have the
proper charts.
A Coast Guard UF2G amphibian
departed Kodiak at 9:30 a.m. to
assist the vessel. Although hamp
ered by a very low overcast and
poor visibility, a successful ren
devouz with the ship and an air
drop of the much needed charts
was made.
Once equipped with the proper
charts, the ship proceeded without
delay to Dutch Harbor where the
Coast Guard aircraft was waiting.
The ship arrived there in the late
evening.
Here again the weather inter
vened as the winds kicked up the
waters of the harbor making small
boat handling extremely tricky.
When attempts to remove the pa
tient by motor boat failed, the
crew of the Liberian ship demon
—_
strated their proficient seaman
ship by rowing him ashore in a
pulling boat.
The seaman was then flown to
Anchorage and placed in the
Alaskan Native Service Hospital.
Book Review
The Bull from the Sea, by Mary
Renault. Published by Pantheon
Books, Inc. A Book-of-the Month
Club selection for March.
Theseus, legendary King of
Athens, is the heroic central fig
ure of Mary Renault’s brilliant
and imaginative new novel, The
Bull from the Sea.
In an earlier book, The King
Must Die, she told the story of
Theseus as a boy and as a young
man who slays the Minotaur and
releases the Hellenes from their
vassalage to Crete. Miss Renault
again takes up the story of Thes
eus,beginning as the young prince
returns triumphantly from Crete
to Athens.
As Theseus steps ashore he
learns that his father, King of
Athens, thinking Theseus himself
dead, has leaped in despair over
the precipitous cliffs guarding the
royal palace. Theseus is acclaim
ed king in his stead, but the voice
of Poseidon, God of the Sea
and Lord of the Bulls, speaking
through an ancient crone, intones
a warning:
“Go with your fate, but not be
yond. Beyond leads to dark plac
es. Truth and death come from
the north, in a falling star_
Loose not the bull from the sea!”

The young king built his tiny
Attic domain into the largest,
strongest and most civilized state
in ancient Greece. Miss Renault
traces his story with a logical, al
most everyday approach to legends
that predate the written word
combined with a genuine poetic
vision. Whether or not the an
cient myths upon which the story
is based have their origin in actual
events, her imagination and schol
arship make them seem real.
