Vacuum's crew, had been lost.
In addition to Captain Harris, the
consular report said four additional
American navy gunners had been
rescued. They are Parker, Williams,
Luykic and Wilson.
This makes a total of eight gunners
who are so far known to have been
saved from the torpedoed vessel.
In contradiction TO this. the Vacuum
Oil Companys offices here received
word that six additional gunners had
been picked up, which would make a
total Of ten saved. With Lieutenant
Thomas definitely known to have been
lost three others are still unaccounted
for
Survivors who reached London TO-
day. including some of the American
bueiackets,. said il was about 10
o'clock Saturday morning when the
submarine was first sighted, very close
to the Vacuum Hardly a minute
elapsed before the torpedo which the
U-boat Immediately fred. struck the
side Of the ship A tremendous explo-
sion resulted throwing many Of those
on the Vacuum's deck OH their feet.
Survivors said the Vacuum began
filling and sinking at once. going
down astern. Meanwhile the sub
marine slowly circled the ship, firing
four shells into the laundering hull.
These smashed the wireless. All
those rescued united in asserting
that the attack came so swiftly that
the Vacuum did not have a chance
TO use her defensive armament.
