DAY, DECEMBER 17, 1922 16 LOST IN STORM GIVEN UP AS DEAD Lifeboat of the Norwegian Steamer Runa Found With Number of Bodies. By the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va., December 17.— Hope of finding allve an of the six- teen missing members of the crew of the Norwegian steamer Runa, lost early Saturday off Frying Pan Shoals, gn the North Carolina coast, was abandoned by coast guard of- ficials here upon recelpt of a mes- sage from the cutter Modog that the second of two lifeboats launched from the Runa had been found with all of its occupants dead. The first lifeboat, picked up by American tanker W. W. Mills Satur- Shop Early Page & Shaw day morning in the vicinity of Fry- ing Pan gas buoy, contained four survivors. Later the tanker picked up another survivor clinging to a floating door, and the five are now thought to be the only ones saved. The second lifeboat, Saturday mes- sages said, was adrift in the storm with six men aboard. While officials have not been advised definitely they are of the opinion that the crew of the Runa numbered twenty-seven men, twenty-two of whom met death. Shin Searches for Bodies. The Modoc, which was rushed to the scene upon advices that the ship had gone down in the gale, was still in the vicinity and searching for bodles yesterday. The message from the commangding officer to Capt. D. F. A. Deotte, division coast guard commander hére, said he was confi- dent that the survivors as first re. ported were the only ones saved Only two lifeboats were launched, the Modoc reported, the one picked up by the W. W. Mills with the four survivors and the second found by the Modoc, with its occupants dead. Floating bodies had been sighted b the W. W. Mills and the Merchants and Miners' Transportation Company steamer Berkshire, but nothing was said to indicate’ whether ecither steamer stopped to pick them up. Officials_here are doubtful whether this could have been done, in view of the rough seas. It was too rough to attempt to transfer the five sur- vivors from the W. W. Mills, and that steamer was proceeding to Sabine, Tex.
