(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.)
Sydney, September 4. Nine Danish scientists are stranded on the small island of Vanikoro, 200 miles east of the Solomons, where their ketch foundered on August 17 on a coral reef. The employees of a Melbourne company on the island have a wireless transmitting set, with which the scientists sent out an appeal for help to the Consul-General for Denmark in Sydney. Only one ship goes to Vanikoro. It is owned by a Victorian timber company and its next visit will be in November.
