700 MISSING
FISHERMEN LOST IN BLIZZARD. Finland Isolated by Ice. SEARCH HELD UP BY SEVERITY OF STORM. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received March 11, 11.30 a.m.) HELSINGFORS, March 10. A blizzard raging in the Gulf of Finland, interrupted the air search for 700 fishermen and 100 horses marooned on an icefield and believed to be drifting towards the Estonian coast. The ice-breaker Tamo has been sent to join in the search, but the blizzard has greatly reduced the prospect of rescue. The storm is so severe that steamers are unable to attempt the passage of the Gulf, and, consequently’, Finland is practically' isolated from the south.
