MAROONED ON A ROCK.
i MISSING TRAWLER'S CREW. AIR AND SEA CRATT ASSIST. (Received 0.30 a.m.) LOXDOX, February 21. Four Free State aeroplanes have arrived at the disused British aerodrome at Oranmore preparatory to participating in a search for the missing crew of the Swansea trawler, Cardigan Castle, who are believed to be clinging to one of the uninhabited islands fringing the Galway coast. The machines are equipped with medicines and restoratives, which will be dropped to the seamen by means of parachutes. Meanwhile, sea craft are scouring the neighbourhood, but report that owing to the fog and heavy seas they are unable to land at the high island from which the missing men's signals are supposed to have come.— (Reuter.)
