(Alaska), pct 11. Search ships were still scouring the North Pacific early today after saving at least five survivors from the 8157-ton American freighter Panoceanic Faith, which sank in heavy seas on Monday night.
The Norwegian ship Visbund last night reported finding three survivors and four bodies on a life raft near the spot where the sinking ship’s 40 crew members leaped into the sea.
The Russian freighter Orekhov radioed that it had found five more unidentified bodies.
Earlier the Japanese freighter Igaharu Maru rescued two men and unofficial reports said another Japanese ship had picked up the master of the Panoceanic Faith, Captain John F. Ogles, and an unidentified crewman. The Panoceanic Faith, bound from San Francisco to Yokohama sank soon after radioing a distress call that her engines were failing and 20ft waves were breaking over her and flooding the holds.
