Anv-IvVrinKQCS VOfcAGE TOr: SIBERIA. ' LONDON, August 8. Three ships .now in the Port of London —the Arcos,- Leonid Krassin and Loos—are preparing for a dash to Siberia.

On-arrival in the Kara Sea, in the Arctic Ocean, they , will be met by an ice-breaker and convoyed in to- the River Ov, where the cargo is tb be discharged.
The cargo for the return voyage—which includes- furs, hides and flax —it, it is understood, ready for embarkation. It is two years since a ship has been able, to reach Siberia by this route.
