LONDON I UP)— Hope was all but abandoned Monday for the 28 crewmen aboard the British freighter Narva which sank in a North Sea storm as it raced to the rescue of another ship in distress. An international mercy fleet searched the mountainous eeas but all they found were a spreadnig oil slick, an overturned lifeboat and two lifebuoys with their Hares still burning. Ironically all 14 men aboard the other ship, the 865-ton British coaster Bosworth, were saved and the vessel taken in tow while the Narva was speeding to its rescue. The dramatic battle against the sea took place in the North Sea midway between Aberdeen, Scotland, and the southern tip of Noiway. The Bosworth had radioed an SOS that it was listing dangerously. The 1,991-ton Scottishowned Narva heeded the call of distress, shouldering through the gigantic waves in it« 60-mile rescue mission. Later the Bosworth reported the list somewhat corrected although it was abandoned. The Bosworth, with a hole in its stern, was being towed to Aberdeen by the British trawler Faraday. The Bosworth’s crew transferred to the trawler Wolverhampton Wanderer. The 6,670-ton Norwegian liner Leda arrived on the scene in time for passengers and crew to watch the Narva’s death throes from 500 yards away. They saw the freighter’s crewmen hanging desperately to whatever they could grab on the Narva’s slippery, sloping decks. The liner dumped 17 tons of oil into the sea to calm it but it was no use. _
