 DOWN WITH THE MANxMAN

Halifax, N S., Dec 19-Forty- three of the crew of the British steamer Manxman were drowned yesterday when their ship foundered in mid ocean, according to a radio message from the British steamsf Y I'' j k Isles picked up here today. The rest of the crew, numbering nofv ,i...-. l.. dozen have been picked up by the British Isles. which is due in New York Monday.
 The message from the British Isles said that among those lost were the captain, first mate. fourth engineer and wireless operator. The rest of the officers, including the chief stew ard, were saved. The message did not state how the men lost their lives, but it is presumed they went down with their ship, though there is a pdssibil- ity that they may have had time to take to the boats and that these sub scquently capsized.
 The Manxman, which was last re- ported at Portland, Me-, on November 70, was on her way to a transatlantic port. The British Isles, from London Dec. ?, for New York, sighted the dis tressed ship Wednesday and stood by her for twenty-four hours, according | to another wireless message. The steamer sank in latitude 41.53 The | message ended with a request that l boots and clothing be furnished to the
