Hampshire. aboard which Lord Kitchener
ana his stan met death. The Admiralty
announced the names Of the survivors
tonight, saying they were on raft
which was washed ashore on one of the
orkney Islands The party consisted
Of one warrant officer and eleven men.
Although neither the name of Lord
Kitchener nor Of any OF his party appears
on the list. the news that there were sur
vyors was received with expressions OF
relief, for now at least the story OF the
sinking Of the cruiser and the loss OF the
secretary of State for War will be told.
Up to the present even the Admiralty
had no information as to the cause of the
disaster.
The news too. has again suggested
the possibility that other men on board
the Hampshire-and in this connection
the British public naturally thinks first
of Lord l<itchener-may also have
reached land on one of tne rocky. unin-
habited Islands of the Orkney group and.
though unable to communicate with
civilization, are safe. This hope, II Is
granted by those who mention II, Is OF
the most meagre sort with little proba-
bility that il will be fulfilled.

for the bodies of Lord Kitchener and
others aboard the Hampshire. Several
bodies including that of Lieut.-Col. y.

secretary, are being brought to Thurso.
