East and West
Meet in Marriage
On Lonely Island
SALISBURY, Md„ UP) —Ignor
ing the poetic protestations of
Rudyard Kipling that East shall
never meet West, the “twain” has
merged on a lonely island in
Chesapeake Bay.
Emma Sue Crockett was wed
Friday to Dr. Mikio Kado. And
they sped away to an old-fash
ioned American honeymoon at Ni
agara Falls.
The bride is a member of the
oldest family on Tangier Island,
a five-mile finger of land in Vir
ginia waters of the bay. The doc
tor is Japanese.
The boyish-looking, 33-year-old
Kato came to the island several
months ago in response to the
islanders’ plea for a physician.
Emma Sue, who is 21, became
his secretary.
The switch from boss-secretary
to husbrnd-wife was made in As
bury Methodist Church here by
Rev. Robert A. Mackey.
Tangier Island, 15 miles from
the Maryland mainland, was set- j
tied in 1686 by John Crockett
only 78 years after Capt. John
Smith had visited the island and
given it a name.

As Navy Bomber
Hits Bering Sea
D
KODIAK, UP) — A Navy patrol
j bomber plopped into icy waters
of the Bering Sea Thursday night
after an unsuccessful landing at
tempt, killing three fliers and
leaving two missing and pre
sumed dead.
Five men were rescued with
only minor injuries.
The twin-engine Neptune came
in for a landing at Adak, far out
on the Aleutian Island chain, but
hit the runway too hard and
damaged the nose landing gear.
Gunned into the air by the pilot,
the plane failed to gain altitude
and dropped into the water a
thousand yards ffshore.
The co-pilot, Lt. Delbert L.
Brown of Louisville, Ky., was
drowned. Dead of exposure when
pulled from the near freezing
water were Lt. Jack C. Zenor,
navigator, of Madrid, Iowa, and
Neil W. Downing, a technician
from Rantoul, 111.
Missing and believed dead are
Barth R. Avenell, Grand Rapids,
Mich., and John E. Hardy, airman
from Birmingham, Ala.
* * *
The Navy has told how Brown,
the co-pilot, gave his life in an
attempt to save others when the
bomber crashed.
Witnesses said Brown was
swimming away from the sinking
plane when he saw that Rodgers j
was having difficulty remaining i
afloat.
Brown pushed Rodgers a float
ing sextant box to help him keep
afloat, then started for shore and
appeared easily able to make it
when he again turned about to
help another crew member. He
swam back almost exhausted to
the half-submerged plane and
joined six men on its wing only j
to be swept off by a big wave.
Avenell disappeared beneath
the waves after he, also, gave
assistance to a mate.
