Blankets from the Beds. Blankets from the beds of Coast Guardsmen aboard the USCG Campbell, boards, canvas and other odds and ends, went into the construction of the cofferdam made to repair the hole in her side caused by ramming a Nazi U-boat. The patch was about 9 x 14 feet and weighed more than a thousand pounds. It took more than a score of Coast Guardsmen to lift it over the side of the cutter. The CAMPBELL contacted six Nazi subs within 12 hours. She is now in an unnamed East coast port.
