NEW YORK, Nov. law-The idle ci the 350 passengers and crew of the iiamport and Holt liner Vcstris remained hidden behind a veil of fog, rain and darkness early this morning. Several steamers had reached the spot 300 miles off the Virginia coast. where the distress calls from ithe Vestris had stated at noon yesterday that the steamer was sinking and those on board taking to the boats, but all reported that exhaustive search had failed to disclose n. trace of the liner or her boats.

"Good-bye WSQ" was the last heard from the weakening wireless

' oi the Vestris at 1.27. yesterday afternoon. This was taken as meant for the wireless station- at Tucker- ton. N. J., with which the Vestrls had been working. 1

A few minutes before the Vestris had wirelnssed, “abandoning ship. Taking tofllife boats now."‘ A dozen vessels had turned to race for the scene of the Vestris’ mishap immediately the wireless call for help had first been heard at l0 o'- clock yesterday morning.

From meagre reports available it was believed the liner had-sprunil a leak while weathering a storm. A severe list was described in the first S. 0. S. call. The, Yeatriswas from New Yorlcfor‘ Barbados and South American ports.
