NEW YORK, November 14.-The list
of known survivors from the British
liner Vestris stood at 220 today with
search continuing for other possible sur
vivors among the 108 passengers and
crew still missing.
These figures are based on compila.
tions made by the officials of the Lam
port g. Holt Line, owners of the Vestris
from messages received from rescue yes.
sells. The list of those aboard was re.
vised to 1913, comprising 1919 members
of the crew and 129 passengers.
Vestris Radio Says "GOOd-by."
"Good-by, WCS" was the last heard
from Neal OLoughlin, radio operator
as he signed off with the Tuckerton
N. j., station of the Radio Marine Cor
poration, which had been answering the
last faint calls from the Vestris' emer.
gency radio set. 1t is believed that
OLaughlin went down with the ship.
Lamport & Holt officials are still hop.
ing that others of the missing had beer
saved. They pointed out that many
small vessels were attracted to the scene
of the disaster and they believed thai
some of these might have picked uT
survivors and be on their way TO land
being unable to report their rescues due
to weak radio equipment or none at all
Vice Admiral M. M Taylor, aboard his
flagship Wyoming, believed that all the
living survivors had been found. In
report to naval officials at Washington
yesterday he said:
Text Of Admiral's Message.
"Chief officer of the Vestris on'Ameri,
can Shipper stated that eight boats ane
one make-shift raft left Vestris. Ont
boat capsized and some OF her people
picked up on this and other ships
other boats picked up by ships ar
irving prior to Wyoming, Raft evil
IDENTIFY broken up due TO heavy seas
Boat capsized about pm, yesterda!
(Monday), and people had been afloat
since then. number OF dead sighted
Not thought possible any living ant
will discontinue search this evening anc
return to Norfolk"
He was commanded to stay on the
scene and continue the search through
the night, even though he believed i
hopeless. Many on shore, however
agreed with Admiral Taylor, believing
the many hours in the water would have
been too much for any survivors, ever
if they were still afloat
The eight persons rescued by the
Wyoming, five women and three men
were taken from the sea, where they
were found floating in life belts.
Coast Guard Continues Search.
4 feet of eight Coast Guard vessels
carried through the night their search
for additional survivors. All were under
orders from Washington to continue
the hunt, although from the Wyoming
had come the message that further
rescues were mot thought possible"
The Coast Guard vessels included the
Davis, Shaw, Wilkes, Tucker, Modoc
Manning, Mascoutin and Acushnet
Orders went forward last night to the
senior Coast Guard officer of the feet
to assume command and have his forces
hold to the search until it appeared nc
longer necessary. At Coast Guard head
quarters it was said that the vessels
probably would continue the search fol
several days.
The Navy late yesterday Cancelled an
earlier order that the dirigible Los
Angeles stand by at Lakehurst, N. j..
in readiness for flight to the scene
of the disaster. The order was can
celed on Vice Admiral Taylor's recon-
mendation.
