HULL STEAM TRAWLER ONLY TWO SURVIVORS FEARS FOR 14 OF THE CREW BELIEVED TRAPPED IN" CRAFT By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyrieht (Received January 10, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 10 The crew of the steamer Goole, hearing cries for help-in the darkness on the Humber, launched a small boat and picked up a man they found clinging to a piece of wreckage. The man said he had been in the water an hour. He belonged to the Hull steam trawler Edgar Wallace (336 tons), which was returning with a catch when she struck a sand bank, heeled over and foundered. The crew of another ship picked up a second survivor, but it is feared that 14 men were trapped by the inflow of -water and perished. The spot where the trawler sank was located, but a long search for other survivors proved fruitless.
