Castle are Landed London, Sept. 1.
The armed merchant cruiser Dun-began Castle (Captain H. Ardill) was torpedoed and subsequently sunk, the Admiralty announces. Two hundred and fifty survivors have been landed from British warships.
The 15000-ton vessel was attacked in the north Atlantic. About 30 members of the crew are reported missing.
A flying boat on reconnaissance sighted the blazing ship and directed iwo warships to the spot. The rescue ships picked up survivors in lifeboats.
The Dunvegan Castle was a modern motor vessel formerly in the service of the Union Castle Line.
Survivors were landed at a west Scotland port. It is learned that after the ship was hit, her doom appeared certain and the crew was ordered to the boats. 3 The captain and three men were the last to be taken off. The lifeboats pulled away quickly and stood by about a mile distant, watching the vessel burning on a calm sea.—Reuter.
