The engine room section Of the Flor

the steamer was two-thirds clear of

The Florizel Is valued at $4,000
and she carried a general cargo valued
at $500. 900. The whole amount Is
fully covered by war risk insurance and
there is a possibility that considerable
of the cargo. comprising fuel and
other oils will be salvaged as the
casks would be washed up on shore.
The Florizel lis of 1850 tons gross
and 1880 tons net. sos feet long and

Glasgow In 1909. A sister ship, the
stephano. was sunk by the German
submarine U-b3 with number of
other vessels off the Massachusetts
