LONDON, TO-DAY.
BRITAIN IS SHOCKED BY THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY, IN WHICH NINE FISHERMEN LOST THEIR LIVES WHEN THEIR BOAT FOUNDERED DURING A TERRIFIC GALE WHICH SWEPT THE EAST COAST OF THE BRITISH ISLES YESTERDAY.
The disaster occurred while the Aberdeen trawler, "Venetla" which during the New Year holidays had been fishing in the North Sea, was trying to seek refuge in Stonehaven-Bay, Kincardineshire, Scotland. Large crowds watched the gallant little trawler fighting its way in the raging seas, which prevented the Ufeboat from res cuing the crew,
There were poignant scenes when the vessel disappeared in the mountainous waves. No bodies have so far been washed up, but coastguards in the vicinity have been ordered to keep a sharp look-out.
