WATCHED THEM DIE
ALMOST REACHED WRECK THEN FAILED HEROISM IN HEAVY SEAS Reed. 11.30 a.m. LONDON, Monday. Seven men lashed to the rigging of the trawler Bendoran, which was ashore at Skerriesreek, Shetland Isles, watched the trawler Aurora as it approached within a quarter of a mile and was then beaten back by the mountainous seas that were breaking over the sunken reefs. A fishing boat manned by volunteer rescuers made a gallant effort to get a line aboard, but this boat also was driven off. Heroic rescue attempts were continued for 30 hours, but the shipwrecked men were washed away, and later the trawlers reported that, the Bendoran had broken u]> and disappeared. It is feared that all hands perished.
