Wanton Deliberation Marks
Torpedoing of Vessel Out
bound From Canada
By Associated Press
I.ondon, July 2. —A German subma
rine, seventy miles from the Irish
coast, on the night of June 27, tor
pedoed the 11,000-ton hospital ship
Llandovery Castle, which had been
chartered by the Canadian govern
ment and had been In the service of
carrying wounded and sick from
England to Canada for many months
past. The ship was then on her way
to England. She had on board 258
persons, including eighty men of the
Canadian army medical corps and
fourteen female nurses.
Up to the latest reports, only twen
ty-four of those on board, Including
the captain, have survived the treach
erous attack, which came without
warning.
The submarine commander, who or
dered the captain of 'the Llandovery
Castle, several of his officers and Ma
jor Lyon, of the medical corps,
aboard, declared that he had sunk the
ship because she was carrying Amer
ican aviation officers and others in
the lighting service of the Allies. He
added to this later by asserting that
the vessel was carrying munition
stores, because of an explosion which
had Occurred aft.
All lights were burning when the
Llandovery Castle was torpedoed.
These included a huge electric cross
over the bridge and strings of- white
and green lights on either side. The
Red Cross on (he sides of the vessel
also were illuminated by electric
lights.
Boat With NUTMII Capsizes
One boat, in which there were
twelve nursing sisters, was seen to
capsize. The sisters were thrown out
and either were drowned directly or
caught beneath the boat. A Cana
dian sergeant, who was in the same
boat, managed to crawl on the keel.
Nothing had been seen of the re
maining five boats. Whether or not
they had been destroyed by shell fire,
the commander of the Lysander
could not say. The submarine was
observed charging wreckage, on
which might have been survivors,
and In the locality where it was
likely some of the boats were drift
ing.
The Admiralty report on the sink
ing describes the cruel treatment of
Major Lyon and declares that the
submarine, after sinking the vessel,
shelled an unknown target, which it
intimates might have been the miss
ing boats.
The captain's boat, containing the
survivors, was picked up by the de
stroyer Lysander, the commander of
which has reported that he had
found no trace of the remaining five
boats.
How the little craft with the nurses
was swamped is described. Not far
from the stern of the sinking vessel,
when the latter sank stern first, the
boat was carried down by the whirl
pool created. The commander of the
Eysander, describing the ferocity of
the submarine commander, said:
Suhoffieer Brutnl
"The Canadian sergeant was dazed
with the buffeting he had received j
and was badly bruised. When the
overturned boat got near the subma
rine the sergeant climbed aboard in
a very exhausted condition. He
thought it was a rescue, but he was
seized by one of the submarine offi
cers and thrown back like a hand
bag."
The commander. In a general re
view of the circumstances, says that
Captain Sylvester knew nothing |
about a submarine being In the vi- j
cinity. He did not at first realize
that he had been torpedoed. He !
could not use his wireless and tried I
to get the emergency dynamo to |
work, but there was no time.
"After the submarine charged into i
the wreckage," says the commander,
"from what I have heard X firmly be
lieve that the submarine tried to ram
the survivors' boat, and thought it
had done so.
"As fai as can be ascertained, one;
stoker was observed on the upper
deck just as the ship was disappear
ing. We have since been cruising in
the neighborhood, but not a single
speck of wreckage of any kind was
seen. Neither have we been able to
find any trace of the missing boats."
