NEW YORK, July 12.-Two mem
hers of the crew of the steamer Lake
Frampton were lost today when the
vessel was sunk in collision with
the Southern Pacific liner Comus OIL
Atlantic City, N. J. .
Officials of the West India Steam
shin company announced they had
received a wireless message from
CAPTAIN Frank Powers, Of the Lake
Frampton, saying that two members
of the crew-an oiler and a fire
man-were missing. Captain Powers
! was aboard the Comus when he sent
| the message.
The Lake Frampton, a steel vessel,
carving a crew of thirty-seven men,
was bound from New York to Nor
folk, and the Comus,, carrying 1876
! passengers and a crew of seventy
eight, was enroute from New Orleans

board. 1t was built in 1918; was 241
feet long; 43 feet beam and regis
tered 4,160 tons. She was valued at

The Comus made record for the
trip from New Orleans in one of its
earliest trips, after being launched
at Newport News in 1899.
The first word received Of the dis
aster was the following message from
Captain Powers to the West India
