ALGONQUIN in Atlantic waters. Yeoman Second Class Carrozza climbed down the side of the ship and into swamped lifeboat, secured a life line on one occupant and cleared a fouled life line which had been previously secured to another occupant, who were by this time in a state of collapse from exposure to freezing water and low temperature thus saving at the risk of his own life the life of a survivor who other wise might have perished.
