SICK CREWMAN GOES TO HOSPITAL AC Sick crewman goes to hospital A Polish crewman, who accidentally inhaled toxic fumes, was put ashore on the Island last night for urgent medical attention.
A Harbour Radio spokesman said the sailor from the 640-foot Polish bulk carrier Stanislaw Kulczynski was rushed to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.
He said the accident occurred while the ship was en route to Casablanca, Morocco, from Charleston, South Carolina, with a cargo of wheat. The sailor apparently became sick when he inhaled gases used to fumigate the cargo.
The ship, which was 60 miles to the northeast of the Island, diverted and entered Five Fathom Hole where the pilot boat St. George collected the injured man.
