WALTER M. SCHIRRA
President Kennedy telephoned
the Kearsarge from Washington
while Schirra was still inside the
capsule. He had to hold the line
10 minutes until Schirra could get
to the phone.
The capsule, hoisted from the
water by a crane, was lowered
through the flight deck on a
hastily arranged bed of old boxes
and mattresses.
Sehirra appeared slightly tired
but told William Hayes, senior
apace agency representative
aboard: "I feel fine. Just fine. A
great trip. What a sweet little
bird!"
SCHIBRA went quickly below
deck for a medical examination.
