FAMILIES PERISH
 ON GALWAY CASTLE
Many Women and Children Among Those Murdered by Kaiser-No
 Warning Given.

Plymouth, England, Sept 15.- Hertrending scenes were witnessed here when hundreds survivors of the torpedoed steamer Galway Castle were landed at early hour Thursday morning. The passengers were mostly women and children and it is believed whole families have been lost
 Among the survivors were little tots scarcely able to walk crying in vain for their parents. Parents wee search ing in all directions for news of their children and women were seeking Valn1y for their lost husbands.
 There seems no reason to doubt that the vessel was tOrpedOed without tween the engine room and the stoke hold, fact which is taken to rule out any possibility that the ship struck a mine.
 The thrush of water was tremen- dous. One engineer was swept into the tunnel from the engine room and drowned.
 One boat was swamped another was dama ged because the falls became fouled and another was swept back against the liner by wave and smashed by the propeller.
 Henry Burton, minister of railways of the Union of South Africa, joined with other survivors in praising the devotion to duty and self sacrifice of the officers of the ship and the men on the naval vessels who rushed to the rescue.
