Summary:Ship Brings Gas For Searchers SHIP BRINGS GAS FOR SEARCHERS BARROW, Alaska, Sept. 11. (AP) —The Russian icebreaker Krassin was discharging gasoline here today, after arriving at 11:55 p. m. (2:55 a. m., Saturday), last night from her arctic cruise in search of the lost Russian transpolar plane and its crew of six.
