MANY SHIPS HUNT FOR SAILOR I Man Washed Overboard 700 Miles at Sea Lost for Seven Days. j New York, Feb. 14.?A score of' ships of aM kinds, from battered tramp steamers of the seven seats to: graceful, pleasure freighted passenger j " i liners, were leaving for ocean routes * today on a mission of mercy. They were continuing to search for John. ~ Birkner, 24, the sailor who was cast j adrift from the steamship Gaffney,. 0 last Wednesday, 70 miles in an ,un 3 frequented part of the Atlantic. 0 If Birkner's frail craft is still a : - float, today's dawn marks the begin-! e ning of his seventh day adrift on the J waters. The master of the Gaffney, -. Captain Walter Beckwith, advised ;every craft carrying wireless to seek! Hriftinf Railor. Birkner was one of' four sailors; ordered to lash a life boat in a ter-j rific storm, when a g'ant wave heeled j the GaflFney over. The life boat wasj .swept into the sea, and Birkner with Jit. He*clambered into the boat, but -,the GaflFney was already too far away j ; 'to throw him a line. For sixteen J J hours, Captain Beckwith cruised^ about, trying to get close enough to put .a line aboard. But the high seas! t frustrated each attempt. !
