Forty-Eight of Silver Lip Surviv

Steamer WeStgdteI

Plymouth, May 3.-The British
steamer Westgate landed here today
the survivors of the British tank
steamer Silver Lip.

her cargo burst open the Silver Lips
decks and set fire to the ship.
All the engineers and four firemen
We're killed and four others of the
crew were seriously burned. Forty
eight of the survivors were rescued
by the Westgate.
The first explosion on the Silver
Lip damaged the sides of the ship and
tore up the deck amidships.
She soon became a mass of flames,
which lowered seventy to eighty feet
high. The fumes from the blazing
oil and dense smoke overcame sew
eral of the crew. The fire spread
from tank to tank, and each advance
of the conflagration was marked by
deafening explosions.
Wreekage crom the ship and the
sea around her were covered with
burning oil. However, the sailors
eventually succeeded in launching the
steel life boats. but many had to jump
overheard and swim in order to reach
Them.
soon afterward the Westgate came
along and picked up the survivors.
