FOURTEEN MEN DROWNED.
United Press Assn. —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January 10. Men aboard the steamer Goole, hearing cries for help in the darkness of the Humber, launched a small boat and picked up a man who was clinging to a piece of wreckage. The man said that he had been in the water for an hour, and belonged to Ihe Hull steam trawler Edgar Wallace, of 336 tons. Returning with a catch the trawler struck a sandbank, heeled over and foundered. In the meantime the crew of another ship picked up a second survivor. It is feared that fourteen members of the trawler’s crew perished when they were trapped by an inflow of water. The spot where the trawler sank was located, but a long search for other survivors proved fruitless.
