Still Afloat Sunday

  LONDON, Oct. 14. - The Volturno was still afloat on the afternoon of Sunday in latitude 47.37 North, longitude 33.45 West.  There is apparantly a possibility of the hulk yet reaching land.   "The Campania was in her vicinity at a quarter past two on October 12," says Captain Rostron in a wireless dispatch to the Cunard company.  "The derelict was the going southeast, making about a knot an hour.  Her hull appeared to be in good condition and likely to float indefinitely.  A careful search was made by us for the missing boats.  The Lorraine six hours later continued the search, but did not see any boats."
