There are sanguine hopes that the res

the Russie is established.
The attaohement of the line was due to
the heroic efforts OF 20 fishermen, who at
harued task. Their fiat-bottomed craft
was tossed about like straw on the
waves. Several times IL appeared as
though the small craft was lost. but 1t
finally got into a current, which carried
IL to this ssarboard side OF the Russie's
bow. A line was then thrown on board
the wreck.
