ATLANTIC GALES
SHIPPING BADLY BATTERED OIL TANKER BREAKS IN TWO ALL MEMBERS OF CREW RESCUED. TIMELY ARRIVAL OF SMALL FREIGHTER. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m.) NEW YORK, January 20. One ship was broken in two, another lost a propeller and several liners were badly battered by terrific mid-winter storms in the Atlantic. A crew of thirty-seven men was miraculously rescued from the oil ianker Jaguar, which broke in two in Mid-Atlantic so suddenly that she was unable to flash a distress signal. The small freighter Duala, apparently nearby, wirelessed that she had picked up seven men from the forecastle and thirty from the after section, which remained floating despite tremendous seas.
A Coastguard cutter reached the freighter Black Condor, off Novia Scotia, when she was helpless without propellers.
