Ship Sinks in
Genoa Harbor
LONDON I A storm-battered
freighter sank in Genoa harbor
Monday and another ews grounded
for several hours off blizzard
swept Dover as new snows raked
Scotland and blanketed continent
al Eruope.
At Genoa, the 4.147-ton Swedish
freighter Nordanland sank with a
600-ton cargo of carbide. Two gap
ing noies had been torn in her hull
by one of the most severe storms
to strike the area in years, A res
cue vessel had spent 36 hours try
ing to pump water from the Nor
dan, and to keep her afloat. Her
40-man crew had abandoned ship
Saturday night. i
The 7,173-ton Italian freighter
Monviso crashed onto rocks under
the south Foreland Cliffs at Dover
early Monday, but tugs wrenched
her free at midmorning. Her crew
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Mon., Feb. 21, I955-(Sec 3)-3
of between 40 and 50 men stayed
aboard. Damage to the freighter
was not determined immediately.
Four more inches of snow fell
in northern Scotland, already
floundering under a thick white
blanket from almost continuous
storms last week. RAF Neptune
and Varsity bombers and crews
were waiting at Kinloss for better
flying weather so they could con
tinue livetock relief missions.
Avalanches took two more lives
in north Italy Sunday, and a rescue
team failed to reach 29 workers
marooned by snow in the nearby
Val Malenco.
