The grim search for survivors of the
Hans Hedtoft continued Tuesday.
but rescue officials held no hope
that faint radio signals heard during
the night were from any
of the 95 aboard the missing Danish
vessel.
The signals were picked up by
Danish auxiliary stations at a frequency
far away from the 500
kilocycles set on survivor radios
aboard the Hedtoft's lifeboats.
Earlier signals picked up at 520
kilocycles sparked hopes Monday
they might be from passengers or
crew of the 2,758-ton vessel which
crashed into an iceberg off the
southern tip of Greenland Friday.
Officers at this rescue center said,
however, that the 520 frequency
was normally used by planes sending
out homing signals.
The U. S. Coast Guard Cutter
Campbell headed the sea hunt
with the aid of a German vessel
and three Danish ships.
