 LONDON. CFriday) Aug. 2o-The big steamer Arabic. formerly q favorite in the Liverpool Boston service. but on the present trip bound for New York, was torpedoed and sunk by German submarine at 9:15 o'clock Thursday morning southeast of Fastnet. The steamer according to 8 statement by the White Star line. was attacked without warning and went down in ten minutes.
 Of the 42S persons on board. 1S1 pas sengers and PAP members of the crew, 32 are missing and are believed to have perlshed. Most of those not accounted for belong to the crew. Only six pas sengers are reported missing.
 Whether any of those not accounted for are Americans has not yet been determined. but only twenty-six citi- zens of the United States were on board. twenty-two in the second cabin and four in the steerage. No first class passengers were carried.
 The survivors left the steamer in the ships boats and were picked up later by passing vessels and arrived at Queenstown last night. They were ac- corodated by the White Star line at hotels and boarding houses in the little town which so short time ago cared for the survivors and dead of the Lusi- tanIa. Details of the sinking of the Arabic are lacking. but that the loss Of life was not greater was doubtless due to the fact that the weather was fine and steamers now keep their boats swung out and are prepared otherwise for emergencies.
 The torpedo that sank the Arabic struck her on the starboard side 100 feet from the sterm. The vessel had left Liverpool on Wednesday afternoon and had taken a southerly course well off the Irish coast doubtless with a view of avoiding the submarines which frequent the waters nearer the shore. When some fifty miles west of where the Lusitania was sunk in May, Ger man underwater boat rose to the sur face ard launched a torpedo. The craftsmanship of the Germans, as in the case of the Lusitania. was deadly accurate and like the Lusitania. the big liner quickly settled down and shortly diSa ppeared from view.
 Some of the survivors. according to reports received here, say they had just witnessed the torpedoing of a British steamer. presumably the Dunsley and that this caused great alarm on board the Arabic. In their fright the pas senEers had rushed for life. preservers and had barely adjusted them when the German submarine turned a torpedo against the vessels side.
 Ten life boats and a number of life rafts were quickly got over the side of the steamer and into these a large number of passengers and members of the crew scrambled. Many passengers. however. fell into the water but got hold of rafts and were later rescued. One woman who fell into the sea screamed pitifully for help. Two sailors swan to her assistance and succeeded in lifting her upon raft. Among those rescued were Captain Will Finch. com .nander of the Arabic. all deck officers. the chief engineer. surgeon. purser. as sistant purser. chief steward and third class steward Third Engineer Lugon Is among the missing. One of the pas Sengers. Kenneth Douglas, is a well known English actor. Douglas was on the Lusitania when she went to the bottom. His good luck followed him yesterday for he is among the surviv- ors
