LONDON, October 21.-Eight ships
searched today for 81 men feared
lost after abandoning a laundering
freighter in a raging storm which
killed 13 and injured scores in the
British Isles.
The crew Of the varduia took to
its Gfeboats in tempestuous seas
400 miles west of the Hebrides, after
sending S o S calls Saturday.
Since then there has been no trace
Of the storm-lashed crew or Of the
ship.
The crew Of the freighter Penden-
mis-, wireless messages related, was
luckier. Before the Pendennis sank
in the North Sea, whipped by the
same storm, the Norwegian steamer
Iris reached her and took of 20 men.
Storm Dying Down.
The first fury of the storm along
the British Isles was believed abating
today, but hundreds of craft, which
had fought to reach the nearest shell
ter. still hugged the harbors.
The steam trawler Riveravon limped
into Granton Harbor, Scotland, bring
ing the body of her mate, George
Watt, 81, knocked overheard Satur-
day. For 10 minutes he battled the
mountainous waves before he was
hauled aboard, fatally hurt.
The 6,000-ton French steamer
Adrar went aground near the Island
of Sylt, of Denmark, and the 5000
ton German freighter Erfurt put into
Bremerhaven with its motors dam
aged by buffetings.
s o S calls were received from the
Italian steamer Pilso, 5000 tons; the
French Ouvertine, AHA tons, and the
Latvian Kandava, 1905 tons, but
their positions and conditions were
not given.
Ferryboats plying between Germany
and Denmark have not been operated
since Saturday.
