STORM STILL RACES
 ON BRITISH COAST
Special from United Prees.)

London. Dec 4.-Shipping circles are alarmed today over the constantly growing list of wrecks from the storm that has been sweeping the British coast for three days. The storm is but slightly absted today but is still raging in a manner that promises to send still more vessels to the bottom. It is now believed the number of drownings will run over 200. seventy two of which were from the steamers Thistlemore and Ellanrannin, both of which were sunk. Nine cargo stea-n- CTS have been either lost or badly damaged. several are missing and it is feared they have gone down and at least 100 sail-boats are lost or mis- sing.
 Life savers have rescued about 300 sailors from the various wrecks. The sinking of the E.lanvannin, bound from Isle of Man for Liverpool. has caused intense indignation and an of fcial investigation into this boats condition will probably be made. The Ellanvannin was 50 years old and was declared u have been notoriously ua- seaworthy for several years The El- lanvannin had on board 10 passengers besides her crew.
