The coasting steamer Vintilis foun-
dered early today with the loss of nine
men of the crew after having been
rammed and cut in two by the Nor
wegian freighter Asturias off St.
Nazaire shortly before midnight.
The Vintilis, plying between Nantes

outer harbor when she collided with
the Norwegian vessel. which was in
distress, floundering the heavy sea
and trying to make ST. Nazaire in the
face of a terrific gale.
The captain and chief engineer OF
the French steamer succeeded in
swimming ashore, but the entire crew
of nine men, all married and the fa-
theirs of families, went down with
their craft
The severe storm of the last three
days showed signs of abating this
morning.
