The first ship to reach the side of the listing Ambassador, whose engines were flooded, was the Italian liner Leonardo da Vinci. Passengers arriving in New York aboard the da Vinci Fri- day told of futile attempts to rescue crew members from the Ambassador.

Roswell Gilpatric, outgoing assistant defence secretary, was among those aboard the da Vinci who watched the rescue attempts. "IT have been a seaman my- self and this was one of the biggest dramas of the sea I have ever seen," Gilpatric said. "This ship did the utmost, she could do." | Capt.
