latitude 45.5, longitude $40, 400
miles north of the Titanic's grave, on
March 26. The name of the sunken
ship is not known. The crews
attention was attracted to the dis
tressed ship soon after night
fall, when the vessel began send
ing up rockets, showing that help
was wanted. Captain He'll ordered
that the Romsdal be headed for the
scene and his ship was run into the
ice field with as much speed as pos
sible, but she had not gone far be
fore she had six or seven holes in hel
hull, which allowed much water to en-
ter the hold. All hands were ordered
to the pumps and the nineteen men
of the crew were able to keep the
water from gaining until temporary
repairs were made. Meanwhile the
rockets continued to ascend from the
ship In distress, but the Romsdal was
helpless, for. she, too, was fast in the
ice. About midnight the rockets from
the other vessel stopped and soon aft
erWard ner I1gnts were seen to dfsap
pear beneath the waves. When day
light broke those on board the Roms
dial were unable to find any trace Of
the sunken vessel. For three days
the Romsdal was a prisoner in the
ice. She finally worked her way out
with six more holes in her hull and
her propeller blades broken.
