SHIP AND TEN OF
CREW PERISHED
New York, Feb. 15. Ten men of
the crew of the British steamship De
Larrinaga of nearly 5,000 tons, per
ished on mid-ocean on February 6
when the vessel foundered. A cargo
of grain bound for France went down
with the ship.
A British warship rescued 27 men
who had taken to small boats ' and
some of these survivors arrived here
1y rail today from a New Foundland
port.
The Larrinaga's captain, E. Wil
liams, his chief officer R. S. Marn
and his "second officer and a gunner
and six sailors sacrificed their lives
the small boats were not largo
enough to hold all on board.
For 40 hours Captain Williams and
his companions perched at the rail
of their ship, half overturned, and fir
ed rockets. These were observed by
the British warship, which earlier had
responded to ah S. O. S. call sent out
when the Larrinaga's cargo had shifted
&nd disaster was apparent. The war
ship, however, was unable to approach,
owing to the hjgh seaS running, and
when dawn came on February 6 the
cargo ship had vanished.
