Vivid Account Of Sinking Of Russian Ship

A lurid picture of the disaster which befell the 3,000-tou Soviet steamer Indigirks claiming a toll of several hundred lives, is given in a telephone message from Wakkanal.
The Soviet ship, with over 1,000 passengers, mostly fishermen back from Kamchatka and Including 100 women, went aground at a point 800 metres off Kishibetsu at the north- -eastern extremity of Hokitaldo at 1.20 a.m. an Tuesday and immediate ly sprung a big hole.
The wireless operator sent S.O.S. messages immediately, but the radio apparatus was soon put. out of com- mission by the water which flooded the vessel.
The skipper of the ship sent 20 members of the crew in two boats towards the shore to call for a rep- cuc, but five out of ten men in one boat
washed overboard by heavy seas, while eight out of ten men in another boat shared similar fate.
Werc
Only seven out of 20 men manag- ed to reach the shore, more dend than alive, about 3 31.xx. They searched for a house amid the stil ruging blizzard and found a fisher- man's house where they were taken good care of by its family.
Genichiro Koml, the Asherman master of the house, immediately re- ported to the Police station at Kishi- hetsu and also ang the alarm bell to call out villagers, The vilingers immediately attempted to send res cue bouts but their efforts were frus- trated by hunvy sens.
When morning came, efforts were renewed to send resque bonts hat in voin.
The chief of the Wakamal Police who dashed to Kishibetsu, requested the North Japan Steamship Company to send the 1,000-ton Karaluto Mar as n rescue ahip to the scene.
