60 MEN PERISH IN ICY NORTH
ATLANTIC.
Thirty-seven Survivors Taken Off a
Life Raft by Patrol Boat After
Spending Hard Night-Was One
of the Largest American Destroy
ers in the Service.
(By Associate 1 Press)

Washington, Dec. 8.-News reached
the Navy Department this morning
that the United States destroyer ia
cob Jones was sunk yesterday in the
North Atlantic by a German subma-
rine.
Thirty-seven survivors were picked
up on raft by a patrol boat and
taken to the nearest port. The Jacob
Jones was on submarine patrol duty
to the north of the British Isles.
1t is feared that Lieutenant Com
mander Bagley, brother of Secretary
Daniels wife, is among the victims,
which, it is believed, numbered sixty.
Bagley's brother, Lieutenant P. A.
Bagley, was the first American Off
Ger killed in the Spanish American
war.
The destroyer Jacob Jones was one
of the vessel rescuing 3O5 persons
from the torpedoed cruiser Oyama. It
was one of the newest and most mod
ern Of torpedo boat destroyers and
had a complement of 81 officers and
men.
It is indicated that the vessel sunk
quickly, because the only survivors
were on the raft, which probably
floated off at the Jones sank.
