CAPTAINS STORY OF SINKING
by a SheIl-Panic On Board
the Steamer.

London, Nov. 20.-A dispatch to
the Daily Telegraph from Milan gives
the deposition of Captain Massardo
of the Italian steamer Ancona, which
recently was sunk in the MediteTra-
mean by a submarine. The deposi-
ton was taken by a commission for
the Italian government on the arrival
of the steamer Cagliari at Naples
with survivors, who also were exam
ined by the commission before they
we're allowed to land. The deposi-
ton of the captain SAYS:
Almost at the same instant the
submarine was sighted a shell struck

The submarine then was several kilo-
metres away 1t steamed towards
us firing furiously aiming especially
at our wireless, which 1 saw cut and

INDUCED and points concerning rules
for the use of the ambulance were,
mentioned.
1t was reported by one member of

by members of. the eoun-

the use of the people, to transport the

ever they would go and free of charge
for the service. In case the ambulance
is required for service where the pa
