morning, reports Harbour Radio.

The man was aboard the 2,800-ton Baltimar Sirius when he suffered a heart attack and renal failure.

The Coast Guard in Norfolk Va., issued an alert for help at 1.05 a.m yesterday and a US warship heading for Bermuda diverted and collected the man.

Last night the warship was said to be steaming to Bermuda and was expected to reach here at 11 a.m. Arrangements were made that once the war ship was within 200 miles of Bermuda a helicopter would go out to transport the man to the Island.
