SURVIVORS IN HOSPITAL
SEVENTY BRITISH PASSENGERS ON LINER. (Received This Dav, 10 a.m.) LONDON, November 19. Official circles in London consider that the Simon Bolivar undoubtedly struck a German mine. The company states that 70 of the passengers were British. A representative of the Dutch Legation, visiting an East Coast Hospital, found that the injured survivors still bore traces of clinging fuel oil, which so blackened them that it was impossible to tell, when they were landed, whether they were whites or negroes. A local tailor, responding to an ap- 1 peal, brought garments to an hotel where survivors were accommodated. He was distributing them when an air raid warning sounded, but. all went calmly to shelters.
