Faint Ray of Hope
For Overdue Ship
Seen by Mariners

NORFOLK, Va, April 3.-Another
ray OF hope for the Norwegian bark.
Florino, now 1e2 days en- route from
Christiansand. Norway. to Hamp-
ton Roads, lies in the opinion OF
several ship masters in this port
that the little vessel may be held
fast in the ice foes near Iceland,
and that " her crew survives the
winter. she may be released this
spring.
Her course lay to the north OF
Scotland in treacherous seas. She
skirted the southern shores Of Ice
land. where the ice foes at this
time of the year are hazardous
for even the sturdiest ships
1t is Believed that the Florino's
sails were stripped from her masts
in the storms OF the northern seas
during December and January and
that she was blown into the ice
Jams and Is caught fast there. The
possibility that other vessels shared
her fate and are within hailing dis
tance is also held out by the old
mariners here. and they believe that
in such a case the provisions may
be made to last until late spring
comes and the ice packs begin to
move.
The FIorino left Christiansand De-
cember ! last.
