Adventure Lured Americans
Who Shared Fate of Zamzam

Truck Drivers and Teachers Enlisted
For Service with Free French Forces

Shuffled together by the lure of what promised to be the greatest adventure in their lives, 24 bold Americans---most of them just old enough, just all enough and strong enough to be called men---were aboard the Zamzam when she went down the bay on March 20 and pointed her old bow for the South Atlantic.

They were the students, teachers, truck drivers, photographers, insurance salesmen and bank clerks chosen by the British American Ambulance Corps to answer the plea of Gen. Charles de Gaulle for ambulance drivers to his Free French forces in French Equatorial Africa.

"I want to help the British cause," some of them said, but the irresistible magnet was adventure.

A good many of them left parents and brothers and sisters behind, but they knew what they wanted to do and they did it. They were imaginative and hot-blooded and full of ideas and adventure.

Like George Finneran, who was just 20 when he put in his bid to join the little unit even though the regulations call for men from 21 to 35. He lived at 97 Apawamis Ave. in Rye, N.Y. with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John P. Finneran, and a brother, Bert, who goes to Harvard.

Quit Job to Go.

"He was enthused just like everyone else," said the distraught Mrs. Finneran today. "George never went far from home before. He was a real home boy. But he wanted to do what he could do for the British. He really got excited about it."

Young Finneran was a salesman in the real estate firm of Dwight, Voorhis & Helmsley, Inc., at 187 W. 23rd St. Tall and broad-shouldered, he was a graduate of Rye High School and had attended Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio.

"I have not yet given up faith," Mrs. Finneran said, tearfully. "They tell me there is still a chance, and I believe that. He was such an adorable boy, such a sweet boy."

She stared dully at the wall. "We have him a good time before he went," she recalled. "One of his friends gave him an accordion, and he practiced for hours so he could entertain friends on ship and after he got there."

Then she collapsed into a chair and cried: "God. I know he's gone!"

Wanted to Help.

Then there was George O. Tichenor, 24-year-old photographer who lived at 19 S. Pierson Rd., Maplewood, N.J. "He went over because he wants to help," his father, O.E. Tichenor, said today.

"He left me first last June to join the British ambulance drivers to be sent to France, but that feel through and he came back," George Platt Lynes, studio photographer and the youth's employer, said: "Then he got restless last November and wanted to join the army. He drilled for about a week in Newark, but they finally turned him down. I think he had one bad ear."

But they weren't all young and gay. There was Henry Emsheimer, 36, of 23 W. 73rd St., who closed his insurance business in John St. to join.

"I never cared for it," he explained before he left. "I've got nothing to worry about any more. I sold everything I own. Now I can have a good time. The way the world's going today, money isn't so important."

A sister said today that Emsheimer "felt very strongly" about aiding Britain as soon as possible. "He felt that by joining the British American Ambulance Corps he could do something to help the cause," she added.

Party's 'Baby' was 19.

The youngest of the group was Robert Louis Redgate, 19, of Harrison, N.Y. "Africa is the last frontier," he said before leaving. "I've been planning to go there for the past five years." A graduate of Rye High School, Robert saw a great deal of the country before sailing for Africa. He was a truck driver at one time. "One trip I delivered a truckload of liquor to a parish house," he smiled at an interviewer before the Zamzam sailed.

Also in the unit were Frederick W. Hoeing of Rochester, N.Y., a college instructor who resided in a 57th St. hotel, and John Nicholas Morris, 28, of 540 W. 142nd St., a trust officer in the Fulton Trust Co. Morris, who attended Regis High School, wanted to do "something in a material way" to help the British, according to a brother.

Austrian Aided Leader.

The men were headed by Francis. J. Vicovari, a 29-year-old veteran of the recent campaign in France and Capt. William W. Wydenbruck-Loe, 50, of 24 E 58th St., a World War No. 1 veteran. Vicovari lived at 37 E 64th St. An architectural designer he served at the start of the war with the French army, was captured when the Maginot Line cracked and was sent to a concentration camp.

Vicovari, dark-haired and articulate, got back to the United States, August 20, on a Portuguese freighter, the Quanza. At that time, he told a World-Telegram reporter, he was "going back as soon as I can." He had been released by the Germans on July 8 after having been imprisoned at Romilly-sur-Seine, along with 26,000 others.

When he joined the British American Ambulance Corps he was placed in charge of the unit.

The 50-year-old Wydenbruck-Loe, his aide, was born in Austria, son of the Countess Esterhazy. A sportsman, his only living relatives are two sisters in Austria.

The men had planned to debark at Mombassa, in Kenya, to meet doctors, nurses, guides and interpreters attached to the Free French army. They were to proceed into the Kenya Mountains, through Uganda and the Belgian Congo into French Equatorial Africa to join the de Gaulle forces near Lake Chad.

They were selected from among 700 who applied after the De Gaulle request last November. Men who could help pay their way were given preference, since it cost $900 for fare and $350 for equipment to send each man to Africa. Included in their provisions were 5000 razor blades, a year's supply of vitamin capsules, 1400 cakes of soap and a stack of phonograph records---Benny Goodman to Brahms.

Writer Also Aboard.

Also aboard was Charles J.V. Murphy, 37, a representative of Fortune Magazine and a former staff correspondent of The World. Mr. Murphy, born in Newton, Mass., lived in Brevoort Lane, Rye, N.Y., with his wife, the former Jane Brevoort Walden.

Mr. Murphy, described by his colleagues at Fortune as "adventurous," was scheduled to leave the Zamzam at Capetown t do research work for an article on the Union of South Africa and other stories of that continent. He boarded the ship at Recife (port of Pernambuco) after having flown from Miami late in March.

In 1931 Mr. Murphy met Admiral Richard E. Byrd on his return from his first Antarctic expedition, and in 1934 he became communications officer for another Byrd expedition to Little America. He wrote, announced and staged weekly programs from KJTY, the Byrd station.

Also in 1931 Mr. Murphy reported the earthquake at Managua, Nicaragua. He was in charge of The World's relief plane which rescued the stranded Bremen fliers from Labrador in 1928, and was the author of Struggle, a biography of Commander Byrd, and Parachute.

Mr. Murphy was accompanied by David Scherman, Life Magazine photographer.

Tells of Premonition.

Among the many missionaries aboard the ship was Miss Ruth C. Burgess of 140 Ricardo Pl., Hackensack, N.J. Her mother, Mrs. John Burgess, said today:

"Two weeks before the Zamzam sailed, I had a dream that Ruth and I were aboard a ship that was sinking. The horror of that dream kept me from sleeping for the rest of the night, but I didn't say anything to Ruth about it because she had her heart set on going."

James W. Crudgington, 21, of Cincinnati and Charles L. Harriss, 30, of New York, both Princeton University students, were going to drive an ambulance donated by Princeton undergraduate subscriptions.

$144,000 Spent
To Equip Unit
On the Zamzam

---------
20, Ambulances, 2 Trucks,
Field Kitchen, Staff Car
and Food Were on Vessel

The ambulance unit on board the Zamzam represented a total investment of $144,000, officials of the British American Ambulance Corps, 420 Lexington Avenue, said yesterday.

The equipment included twenty ambulances valued at $1,350 each; one field kitchen valued at $2,000, and two trucks with spare parts and a staff car, valued at $1,350 each. Equipment for each of the twenty-four men, which included food supplies for forty days, cost $1,750 a man.

The remainder of the $144,000 represented passage money and shipping charges on the equipment, medical supplies and insurance on both the equipment and the men. Each man was insured by the corps for $5,000..

One of the ambulances was called a photographer's ambulance, being equipped with a special platform and searchlights for taking pictures to record the work of the unit. Each ambulance had a two-way radio, while the staff car was an ambulance-type car with the central radio for communicating with ambulances in the field.

Manufacturers contributed some of the supplies, ranging from essentials such as food to such luxuries as phonograph records. The forty-day food supply was taken because the unit expected to travel nearly 3,000 miles over primitive roads from Mombasa, in Kenya, to the Lake Chad region, in French Equatorial Africa. Among the foodstuffs contributed by manufacturers were pork and beans, sliced bacon, coffee, tinned butter, bouillon cubes and cocoa.

Other equipment included four canvas showers, 200 blankets, tents, cots, lamps, eight generators, flashlights and toilet articles.

The ambulances were donated by the following individuals or groups:
