LONDON, July 3 -- More than 700 Danish and Norwegian emigrants, bound for New York, are believed to have been drowned in the North Atlandtic on June 28. Of nearly 800 on board the Danish steamship Norge, which left Copenhagen on June 22, only 27 are know to be alive, and for the rest no hope is held out. When last seen the Norge was sinking where she struck on the Isle of Rockall, whose isolated peak raises itself from a deadly Atlantic reff 290 miles off the wet coast of Scotland.

• Reference: SS Norge, Wikipedia. 1 On 28 June 1904, Norge ran aground on Hasselwood Rock, close to Rockall, on St Helen's Reef. According to Sebak's comprehensive account, over 635 people died during the sinking, among them 225 Norwegians. The 160 survivors spent up to eight days in open lifeboats before rescue. Several more people lost their lives in the days that followed rescue as a result of their exposure to the elements and drinking salt water.
