l6 Members of Hesperian's Crew
Have Not Been Ac-
counted For

The Allan Line steamer Hesperian
sank near Queenstown to-day AS she
went down in deep water it probably
will be impossible to make an ex-
animation to determine whether she
was torpedoed or struck a mine.
Various passengers seen by the Am

no warning was given. No survivor,
apparently saw a submarine or tor
pedo.
Queenstown messages say that 33S
of the Hesperian's passengers have
been accounted for. 1t has been
stated that the liner carried a total
of $50 passengers. Allan Line officials
express confidence that all were saved.
Two passengers are reported to have
died after being rescued.

for.
Six members of the crew of the
British tank steamer Cyfbeline were

apparently in the zone of German sub
