SEVEN BOYS SAVED FROM ICE FLOES "Seven CCC youths, stationed at a camp at East Brewster, Mass., were rescued from drifting ice floes in Cape Cod Bay. February 10, after spending a night in the icy hands of fate. Three of the youths were rushed to the hospital at Hyannis, Mass., by plane, the other four being treated aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Harriet Lane, which effected the rescue. The seven boys were walking along the ice by the shore when it broke.
