LONDON, Dec A--The list OF disasters TO
shipping. caused by the most recent Of the
many severe storms which have swept over the
British Isles this year. continues TO receive sd-
ditions almost hourly. To give q complete list
OF these maritime casualties would be an ex-
pensive and practically useless task, as no
American craft seems TO have suffered. The
only exception, so far as known, 20 this rule ID
IN the case of the British ship Enterkin, Capt
Sinclair, l.6l4 tons which left Portland, Ore,

reioadlng with iron the Enterkin sailed few
days ago for Brisbane Queensland. Australia
During the gale of Saturday night the Enter
Kin was driven ashore on the Galloper sands
IN the North sea. and will most likely become q
total loss, while, so tar as known, ali her crew,
thirty-one hands, with the exception of one ap-
prentice. have been drowned.

When the skipper of the Briton's Pride was
convinced That this was an actual fact ne re-

waves, during which the brave fishermen were
