British Steamer Llandovery Cas-
tie Sunk-234 Are Miss
ing
Craft Was Homeward Bound From
Canada When Attacked - Only
Twenty-Four Out of 258 Per-
sons Reported Saved.

London, July 3.-A German subma-
rine sank the British hospital snip
Landovery Castle, 116 miles south
west Of Fastnet, June q, the British
admiralty announced on Monday night.
The Llandovery Castle was home
ward bound from Canada. 1t carried
259 persons. This total includes ~
Canadian army medical corps men and
IA woman nurses.
One boat containing "a survivors
has reached port.
One of the boats containing IL
nursing sisters, was seen to capsize'
1t was reported. The sisters were
drowned.
The submarine commander, who o1-
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 1t was carrying American avia'
tion 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 14,4Zo
tons gross and was built at Glasgow In
1914 for the Union Castle Mail Steam
ship service. The vessel was 500 rect
long, 63 feet beam and 81 feet deep.l
The admiralty announcement fol-
lows:
about 10 80 o'clock on June u, 116
miles southwest of Fastnet, the hos
pital ship Llandovery Castle was tor
pedoed by an enemy submarine and
sank In about ten minutes. She was
homeward bound from Canada and
therefore there were no sick or wound
ed on board, but her crew consisted or
164 officers and men and she carried
so Canadian army medicals and IA fe-
male nurses.
"Of this total Of 25S only one boat
containing "a survivors has so for
reached port. Search Is still being
made and there is q bare possibility
that others may yet be found.
"It is to be noted that in this, as in
deed in all instances, the German sub
marine had a perfect right to stop and
search the hospital ship under The
Hague convention, but she preferred
10 torpedo the Llandovery Castle"
Subsequently the admiralty issued
the following comment on the sink
ing:
"Germany's awful debt to the world
continues to grow. Another hospital
ship has been torpedoed, this time lie
miles from the nearest land, and her
people turned adrift In their boats, to
sink or swim as they best might. And
though, as 1t happened, she was a
Canadian hospital ship returning from
Halifax with no wounded on board,
the tale of crime reveals a 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,"
New York, July 3.-The American
steamship George L. Eaton of. zoos
tons gross has been sunk, presumably
by German submarine, in European
waters, according to information re-
celved In shipping circles here. She
left an American port for France
