Two of five survivors are in hospital suffering shock and exposure. Naval information officers said all seven men aboard the 97-ton navy tug, which turned over after placing tow lines to help dock the aircraft carrier Magnificent, were civilians from the Halifax area. Missing is cook C. A. Reed. Dead is H. A. Card. In hospital are John Roy Sharpe and Second Engineer William A. Mosher of Halifax. Authorities report their condition as good. Capt. James C. Bennett, deckhand Leslie M. Grandy, and quart ermaster Alfred B. Drake required no hospital attention. They were rescued by other tugs helping dock the Maggie. The Glendyne, one of the navy's larger service tugs, is one of three of her class craft now in service. There was confusion on the exact cause of the sinking but an early report that the carrier and tug had collided apparently was in correct. One waterfront worker said that when berthing large ships the tugs must always keep proper strain on its tow lines. If this Is not done, the tug can overturn. Six other tug picked up the survivors. The accident occurred opposite the navy's dockyard in Halifax's north end and almost under the Angus L. MacDonald Bridge connecting the city and Dartmouth. The Magnificent arrived in port about 7:30 a.m. MST probably for the last time, after a rough and tumble trip across the Atlantic. Part of her starboard bow was battered in during the trip but her deck load of 49 Sabre jets escaped without a salt water drenching. About a dozen light floats had been washed overboard by high running seas that destroyed one motor cutter, damaged two others and a steel barge used for in-shore work. The jets, 49 of them on the deck and 11 in below-deck hangars, were brought here from Glasgow, after service in Europe with the RCAF. They will be taken to an aircraft plant at nearby Eastern Passage. The Magnificent is scheduled to return to the Royal Navy and will be replaced by HMCS Bonaventure, now on trials out of Belfast

After battling storm-lashed seas without serious incident for 9,950 miles, the Magnificent was involved in a freak accident which took two lives and sank the naval tug Glendyne. Dead are Seaman H. S. Card and Cook C. A. Reed, whose body has not yet been recovered. Five of the crew of the 80-foot tug were rescued. Capt. A. B. Fraser-Harris, skipper of the carrier, said the tug swung across the Magnificent's line of tow and was hauled over on it's side. "The Magnificent went into full ahead on both engines to take the weight off the line but the tug did not right," he said. The Maggie went through three major storms on the tour of duty which took her to Egypt with soldiers and equipment for the United Nations Middle East police force and later to Glasgow to pick up 59 Sabre jet planes to be returned to Canada from NATO duty.
