THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SHIP DISASTER RAISES DEATH TOLL J0 145 European Gales Veer North; Shipping Damage Near Five Millions. By United Press LONDONV Dec. 10.—The brunt of the Atlantic storms, which have been raking the British Isles and surrounding waters for the past week, veered toward the Scandinavian coast today. The force of the gales had abated slightly. The sinking of the Italian cargo ship Aifri, off the French coast, with thirty of its crew, brought the known death toll of the British Isles and Europe to 145, with additional deaths being reported hourly. News of the sinking of the Aifri was brought by the tramp steamer Gascogne, which arrived at La Rochelle, France, with six of the Italian vessel's crew. The Gascogne had stood by for several hours, after the Aifri went down, attempting to pick up other members of the crew. The list of known dead including those killed on land by debris of houses and buildings wrecked by the hurricane-like gales was divided as follows: British Isles (drowning*) 46 England ]0 Spain 25 France 87 Netherlands .......... ............... 15 Belgium 2 Portugal 4 Denmark 8 Germany 3 Total 145 Nearly twenty-five steamers reported wrecked or stranded or in need of immediate assistance. It was estimated that 100.000 tons of shipping, worth 1,000,000 pounds sterling ($4,870.00) had been lost or stranded since the gales began a week ago.
