Sea Disaster in Doubt

CHATHAM, Mass.--The Holland-American liner Veendam and the American Scantic liner Scanmail radioed the radiomarine station here at 7:50 p.m. tonight that they had not picked up survivors of the British freighter Maria de Larrinaga.

Both vessels said that they knew of no boats picking up survivors.

These messages were in direct contradiction to reports emanating from New York that the Veendam had picked up survivors late this afternoon.
