I MOSCOW, Iff) — Izvestia yes
terday reported a three day battle
in icy seas between Siberia and
Alaska to save 350 persons aboard
a blazing passenger ship, the
i 1,773-ton Dvina.
Three sailbrs perished in the
sea drama October 15. The other
347 were rescued.
An SOS was received here at
the Ministry of the High Sea Fleet
and in Vladivostok. Orders were
immediately flashed to ships to
speed to the aid of the stricken
vessel
The position was given at a
point near the Bay of Anadyr,
which lies northwest of the TJ. S.
island of St. Lawrence.
During the evening there was
an explosion of unexplained ori
gin and flames began to spread
through the ship. The skipper, a
Captain Ivanovsky, immediately
took steps to prevent panic
“Stifling fumes crept into ca
bins, saloons and galleys,” Izves
tia said. “But the people trusted
■ the sailors and crew, and
there were no tears or panic. The
passengers calmly and quickly
collected their possessions, dressed
their sleepy children and put them
into the fresh air on deck.”
The Klara Zetkin arrived at the
disaster scene arid took aboard
all passengers. The captain re
fused to leave the ship. Finally
the fire was conquered. The Dvina
was taken in* tow to port.
