234 DIE ON HOSPITAL
SHIP SUNK BY GERMANS
British Steamer LIandovery Castle
Torpedoed f16 Miles Off Fastnet-
Only "a Survivors.

London, July "A German subma-
rine sank the British hospital ship
Llandovery Castle 116 miles south
west Of Fastnet. June 81. the British
admiralty announced.
The LlandOvery Castle was home
ward BOUND from Canada. 1t carried
258 persons. This total includes 50
Canadian army medical corps men and
"A woman nurses.
One boat containing "a survivors
has reached port.
One of the boats containing u
nursing sisters, was seen to capsize,
it was reported. The sisters were
drowned.
The submarine commander, who Or
dered the captain Of the LlandOvery
Castle, several of the officers, and Ma
jor Lyon of the medical corps aboard,
declared that he had sunk the ship be-
cause it was carrying American avia-
ton officers and others in the fighting
service of the allies. The only officers
on board the ship were six officers of
the medical corps.
1.-THE Llandovery Castle was 1923
tons gross and was built at Glasgow in
1914 for the Union Castle Mail Steam
ship service. The vessel was 500 feet
long, SO feet beam and 81 feet deep.]
The admiralty issued the following
comment on the sinking:
"Germany's awful debt to the world
continues to grow Another hospital
ship has been torpedoed, this time 116
miles from the nearest land, and her
people turned adrift in their boats, to
sink or swim as they best might. And
though, as it happened, she was a
Canadian hospital ship returning from
Halifax with no wounded on board,
the tale of crime reveals wanton de-
liberation on the part of the submarine
commander, and almost suggests the
hope on his part that he would find
her full of injured and helpless men,"
