MANY DEAD FROM
SUSSEX DISASTER
Wireless Injured When EXpIo-

Including Five Americans.
COULD NOT CALL HELP
casualties Occurred First by ENpIo-
SION "nd Second When Two Life
Boats Capsized, Officers state.

''b~iLtu, olnCCES state,
London, March Although
there is still some uncertainty as TO
the loss of life in the disaster TO the
cross-channel steamer Sussex last
Friday. there no longer is any doubt
that the death list is much larger
than the early advices indicated
The latest figures compiled in Lon.
don show as many as 1872 persons
missing, including five Americans.
The Sussex had 436 persons
aboard of which the following have
been accounted for: Landed at Do
yer, 70; landed at Boulognc. $50.
dead at Rouloenc. .; dead at Do
yer, 3.
The list OF missing may be slightly
diminished by the fact that some of
the passengers who landed continued
their journey without reporting their
safety.
The casualties occurred i'm two
ways; first, in the explosion. when
the ship was struck, and second, b.,
drowning when two life boats can
sized.
Capt Mouffett. together with sev-
eral of the officers and number of
the passengers assert that the shin
was undoubtedly torpedoed. Most
OF these witnesses declare they saw
the torpedo when it was a distance
of about 100 yards. Unfortunatc'y
they say there was not time enough
to avoid it, although the captain
made an attempt TO save his vessel
by quick manoeuvre.
Prevented Calls for Help
The explosion killed or wounded
several mon in the engine room aod
some OF the occupants of the saloon
directly above it. Injury to the wire
less apparatus prevented calls for
help and it as several hours before
assistance arrived.
