ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 3.-Offiicers
Of the liner Persia are positive she
was the victim Of submarine. It
seemed certain the loss Of life was
more than $50. American Consul
McNeely was last seen struggling in
the water and probably was drowned.
Leonard Moss, an English survivor
said: THE Persia sank in less than
six minutes, Most Of the passengers
were having luncheon and we're not
thinking Of submarines.
We were making IS knots when
dun boom came. A funny cracking
sound followed. It seemed only a
second when the ship began to list.
Those on deck rushed to the Iifeboats,
buc the starboard boats were worth
less because they listed heavily.
Everybody was pretty cool, but the
women and children were crying. Two
boats got away, but the next rolled
over as it hit the water Many wom-
en- were in it. Two other boats were
cleared minute before the Persia
sank. The passengers were mostly
grouped n deck. Waves broke over
the stern and was thrown into the
water"
The number of survivors reaching
here are placed at 160. including
many Lascar sailors.
Many of the women were lightly
clad and the men were rescued with
out their coats. Warships and fishing
vessels, seeking bodies off Crete, re-
garded it as possible that Greek
trawlers had rescued some alive
Charles Grant of Boston was saved
The second officer saw the white
streak Of the torpedo. Nobody re-
ported seeing a submarine. Various
reports indicated the vessel was sunk
