112 MISSING
AFTER WRECK
OF STEAMSHIP
- ; (Continued from re V)
I exact number of those saved, it
i was supposed that all had either
j crowded aboard the life boats and
i rafts or had clung to the wreckage
) come upon by the rescue fleet,
i Some believed that because of the
! 19 rlmia tilt rt I ho hiti'a trlr

' her cargo, only the five boats on!"-" rrlflc and a huite tidal
? the high side and possibly one of
j those at the stern could be
launched when the order to aban-
don was given.
j Those who waited through the
: night to read the drams-laden
wireless messages that pictured
the disaster, were hopeful that all
! the shln'a personnel had ltft her
when the lifeboats were lowered
away. They took additional com
fort from the fact Hint Captain
Carey of the Vestrls was one of
those picked up and from the
knowledge that the law of the sea
i makes the master the last to
; leave.
203 Accounted For
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. Wireless
reports from rescue vessels at the
scene of the sinking of the liner
Vestris off the Virginia capes re
ceived up to 10:45 this morning
accounted for 203 of the 339 pas
sengers and crew.
The North German Lloyd line
was informed that Its steumer, the
Berlin, had picked up 21 survivors.
The Berlin will dock here tomor
row. The American shipper of the
American Merchant line got 90
members of the crew and 33 pass
engers.
The French tanker Myriam was
renorted to have 53 aboard.
The United States battleship
Wyoming picked six from the
vater among the wreckago of the
111-futed Lamport and Holt liner,
This left 136 to be accounted for.
One Lifeboat Empty
BERMUDA. Nov. 13. One of
the lifeboats of the stricken liner
Vestris was picked up empty by
the liner Berlin this morning-
There was no way to tell whether j
It had been occupied and the pas
sengers were lost or whether it
had washed away from the Vestris
unoccupied.
The Berlin reported tnnt as
soon as weather permit tea it
would take an survivors nicked up
by the French tanker Myriam and
proceed to New York. Nine boats
in all, including the empty one,
were reported to have been pick
ed up, leaving but one boat and a
small raft still to be found.
Vessel May Be Afloat
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Officials
of the Lamport-Holt line asserted
at 10:30 o'clock this morning that
they were still without official
adviceB that the Vestris had sunk.
They were hoping she waa afloat
and salvageable.
' It would have been Impossible
for Imperfect cargo stowage to
sink the vessel, they said. The
Vestris was carrying 3,200 tons of
merchandise, including fruit, auto
mobiles, cotton and machinery.
Veteran shipping men, well vers
ed In the 'ways of ships, hazarded
the opinion that the Vestris' trou
ble was caused by the springing of
plates due to ordinary wear and
tear.
8 Perish In One Craft
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. A
strong northeast wind , rains, mist
and a heavy sea apparently were
the weather conditions which sur
rounded the sinking of the BrUish
steamer Vestris nnd also saw dis
aster overtake tfwo other vessels.
This was revealed by reports to
coast guard headquarters here and
by radio dispatches from ships
which rushed to the aid of the
Vestris' passengers.
Eight lives were lost when Cap
tain Lee Hurt man, a veteran deep
sea fisherman, and his crew out
beyond Hog Island bar. off the Vir
ginia Capes, yesterday to search
for a small fishing scow which
had gone adrift.
A hardy Gloucester fishing boat
which had ventured far to the
south was driven ashore late last
night six miles south of Virginia
beach. Coast guardsmen went to
the rescue and after a stubborn
battle with a hlgh-runnlns- surf
succeeded in reaching the strand
ed vessel and carrying ashore Its
master and five members of his
crew.
The vessel, a steam trawler nam
ed the Ruth Mildred, was reported
to be leaking nadir and It was
feared that under the pounding of
ihe surf U -would be lost entirely.

Mauritania Struck
PLYMOUTH, Eng., Nov. 13.
The steamship Mauretania arrived
at Plymouth today after a tempes
tuous voyage during which about
twenty passengers and crew mem
bers were slightly injured.
The worst day was Saturday
when the liner ran into a terrific
gate, the wind attaining a velocity
wave "which looked as high as the
Mauretania's funnWs" came aboard
her bout deck. The liner rolled
heavily and some twenty passen
gers and crew were bruised, but
all the Injuries were of a minor
character.
Five Not on Board
LIVERPOOL, Nor. 13. Four of
the crew ana tne assistant purs
er. C. R. Junes, of the Lamport
and Holt liner Vestris, who would
ordinarily have been aboard their
vessel, arrived at Liverpool today
aboard the steamer Celtic, the
purser being on vacation and the
others on sick leave.
None of them had heard of the
disaster to the Vestris until they
landed. Realising the anxiety of
relatives who were unaware that
the men were not aboard the Ves
tris, the authorities passed them
through the custom formalities
quickly and allowed them to hur-
' . I I
Affecting scenes were witnessed
at the Lamport and Holt office to-
day when the wives of members
of the Vestris crew, many carry-
ing babies, made anxious inquiries
regarding the fate of their hus
bands. Mrs. Carey, wife of Captain
W. J. Carey, in command of the
Vestris, waited all night In the
hope of hearing some definite in
formation regarding the rescue ef
forts and the fate of her huBband.
It was believed here that the
radio operator aboard the ship,
whose calls for aid brought rescue
vessels at top speed to the scene
of the sinking, was making his
first voyage.
Aid From the Air
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. The
navy dirigible Los Angeles today
was ordered to stand by in readi
ness to leave at dusk to assist In
the search for the Burvlvora of the
steamship Vedtris.
It was explained that the airship
would have been dlBpatched yes
terday had it not been' undergoing
an overhaul at Its hangar at Lake-
hurst, N. J.
Wyoming Finds Eight .
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. The
battleship Wyoming reported to
tho navy department today that
she had picked up eight survivors
of the disabled steamer Vestris.
The message, signed by Vice Ad
miral M. M. Taylor, commander of
the scouting fleet, who Is aboard
the Wyoming, gave the names of
the survivors as follows: !
Mrs. Fernand, Mrs. Inouge, Mrs.
Barrier, Mrs. Batten and Mrs. Oel
rich, passengers; and John Morris,
Gerald Burton and Joseph Boxill,
negro members of the crew.
The dispatch said:
"All in good condition. Continu
ing search."
It made no mention of a dead
man having been picked up as
reported in other dispatches.
The Myriam's List
NEW YORK. Nov. 13. Appar
ently most of those Identified by
the French tanker Myriam as hav
ing been picked up from the Ven-
trla' lifeboats were members of the
crew. The garbled condition of
some of the messages coming
through from the rescue fleet
probably accounts for confusion In
the list of names.
Among those Identified from the ( and widening are also on the pro
pawsenger Hut as having been gram.
