The Argyleshiie raced with the War Soldier to the rescue, but the latter vessel made her objective first, and proceeded to get Out a towline in the face of stormy conditions and a nasty crosssea. Then a 350-mile tow to Albany commenced, and during the five.day fight the towline parted four times. Before the War Soldier gave assistance/ the crew of the Cardium attempted to abandon the ship, but they codld not get away, and desisted after two- had been killed in the attempt. The boat with its costly cargo and all hands was taken to port. "Snotving Good -oh. Cold is terrible," says Maitl.
