was officially announced at the admir-
atty today that the British armored
merchant vessel Viknor had been lost
on Ireland with all hands. The YES
sci. 1t was stated, either struck mine
or foundered.
The admiralty states says:
"She has been missing for some
days and must be accepted as lost
with all her officers and men. The
cause OF her loss is uncertain, but as
some bodies and wreckage have been
washed ashore On the north coast Of
Ireland. it is presumed that during
the recent bad weather she either
foundered or, being carried out Of
her course, struck a mine in seas
where the Germans are known to
have laid them" ~
