NO CHANCE OF SAVING THE VESSEL
ONLY TRAVELLING AT FOUR KNOTS AN HOUR. (Rec. January 10, 8.10 p.m.) London, January 9. Other accounts show that the Germans used the Red Cross as a target. A torpedo passed clean through it. Uie three missing Lascars wero probably killed by the explosion. The ship was only traveling at four knots an hour. It was a most effective shot, and there was not a chance of saviug the vessel. Tho men in the bunks were suddenly awakened and made a dash i'er the deck. In other cases there was a wild groping in the darkness for some sort of clothing. Most of those who have been landed are absolutely without clothing.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
