IN DISTRESS

OFF AZORES

Amsterdam, Nov. 5. The sailing ship Passat, sister ship of the ill-fated Pamir, radioed for urgent assist- ance today after her cargo shifted as she sailed east of the Azores.

The barque radioed that her cargo had shifted in her holds, causing her to list badly.

The Dutch Coastal radio station at Scheveningen, which picked up the SOS, said the Pussal gave her poston as 41.30 north 17.00 west.

ILL-FATED

The Pasent is owned by the Famir Foundation of Lübeck. which also owned the ill-fated Pamir.

The point at which the Passat radioed for nasistance was only a few hundred miles from the spot where the Pamir was hit by an Atlantlo galo on Sept. 22. The Pamir sank, all but six of the 10 drowning.

The 10,009-lon New Zealand liter Rangitata radioed that it was making for the Passat's position approximately 200 miles from the Spanish coast and hoped to be there around 0700 GMT.
