Washington, Oct. 19.
'HE loss of yet another British ship by U-boat action is revealed in an announcement issued by the Maritime Commission here, which says that the 300 survivors rescued by the United States steamer Independence Hall in mid-Atlantic come not only from the City of Mandalay but also from the 10,000-ton Bibby Line vessel Yorkshire. This is the first intimation that the Yorkshire has been sunk, and no details are as yet available.
A. previous message reported only that the Ellerman liner City of Mandalay had been torpedoed, It is reported that of the 300 persons rescued by the Independence Hall, 223 belong to the Yorkshire.
The Independence Hall carried out her mission of mercy at a point about 500 miles west of the French coast.
She was then on her way from Bordeaux to New York.—Reuter,
