TRAINING SHIP LOST.
WITH JAPANESE CREW OF 72. SEARCH ABANDONED. (Received Sunday, 5.5 p.m.) TtelO, March 11. Searching torpedo boats have abandoned hope of saving the training ship Kirishima, a nine-hundred-ton sailer from the Kagoshima Marine School, with seventy-two, including forty students, aboard. The vessel wirelessed an S.O.S. call on the night of March 9, saying she was sinking. The Empress of Canada, coming to Yokohama, changed her course and fruitlessly searched for the Kirishima. It is believed that she sank with all hands during a heavy storm.—(A. and N.Z.)
