BOXCARS OVERTURNED, BOATS HIGH AND DRY AT GULFPORT ~Phct° by The
Boatman Rescues
Many Near Pass jg/or-aa- tty. ?
The unflagging courage of Guy Allen of Pass Christian, who braved a 110-mile-an-hour wind I to rescue countless hurricane-ma-irooned persons, was praised Monday by John Curran, 5524 Pry-tania.
Mr. Curran, who was at the Pass at the time, said Mr. Allen crossed the railway tracks back of the Miramar hotel in his speedboat at least 20 times on his missions of mercy.
One couple, he recounted, was marooned in an attic; Mr. Allen had to cut his way through to them before he could get them out to safety.
“He was the first one to get to Henderson Point. He went in a truck,” Mr. Curran said, “and he rescued countless New Orleanians there.” ///>) BS -
