SANK AT SEA
FATE OF PARISH YAWL VOYAGER BELIEVED DROWNED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, MADRID. November 16. (Received November 17. at 1.30 a.m.) The newspapers state that the yawl in which the Dane, Niel Ventigodt, was voyaging round the world sank off San Pedro Delmar. Ventigodt, after a vain struggle in the heavy sea, loft his sole companion, Hansen, exhausted, and recommended him merely to try to keep afloat while he fetched help. He reached the shore in darkness, and some time elapsed before he met anybody. It is believed that in the meantime Hansen was drowned. Madame Ventigodt left the yawl at Santander, and returned to Denmark, Hansen taking her place.
