The Cartagena is about 250 miles east of Nantucket. The Acushnet advised the Bos- ton coast guard headquarters it planned to await further moder- atior of the seas to enable the Canadian seagoing tug Founda- tion Vigilant to pick up the tow. The weathér was reported moderating progressively. RIDES SEAS The 10-man crew of the Carta- gena remained aboard and the Acushnet said the dredge rode well during the night. | The Cartagena was being towed by the tug Monday from Quebec to Baltimore when a hawser parted. Seas were still too high to at- tempt to remove the crew mem- bers from the dredge, Hugh Milroy, Halifax manager of Foundation Maritime Limited, operators of the tug owned by Standard Dredging Company of New York, said the situation was greatly improved for the Cartagena, STAY ABOARD Milroy said the dredge's 10- man cro planned. to . stay aboard as the seas' fury dimin- ishes. Milroy, who has been in regu- lar contact with the Vigilant, said the dredge was not taking water, The crew Monday had asked for aid from the coast guard, after reporting the dredge was taking water. But the Acushnet was forced by raging seas to de- fer efforts to remove the men, The coast guard cancelled a plan to send out planes to drop life - saving equipment after Acushnet radioed she could float such gear to the dredge if nec- essary, Apprehension mounted when Cartagena's crew reported the 80-ton "'ladder,"' a ponderous as- sembly used in dredging opera- tions, was shifting under the pounding by the seas. They said they feared if it carried away it would demolish the stern of the dredge and cause it to founder immediately. Acushnet shot @ light line over the dredge Monday night as a messenger to haul a new tow- ing hawser aboard, but the crew reported weather conditions too severe to go on deck and handle it. A 40-knot, snow-laden north- northwest gale had built up seas 20 to 30 feet between trough and crest. The dredge is on the second leg of a trip from Detroit. All crew members were believed to be Americans, Woman's Body Found Stuffed Into Closet ROCKTON, Mass, (AP)--The body of a 32-year-old woman who was strangled was found.
