London, Oct. 11...'
The Admiralty states that at 11 am on Oct. 6 the ärmed mercantile cruiser Otranto collided with the steam-. slip Kashmir. Both were carrying American troops. The weather was very bad and the two ships drifted apart and soon lost sight of each other. The destroyer Mounser was summoned by wireless and by skilful handing took off 27 officers, 239 of the crew, 1,300 United States military ratings, and 30 French sailors and landed them at a north' Irish port. The Otranto drifted ashore at Islay Island and a became total wreck. Sixteen survivors were picked up at Islay." It is feared that the drowned are as follows:- 335 U.S. military ranks and ratings, 11 officers und 85 of the ... crew. The Kashmir landed troops at a Scottish port with out casualty. The survivors from the Otrante håve arrived in London. A state of fog and gale prevailed at the time of collision. A ware flung the Kashmir on top of the Otranto which was swept by terrific seas. The men paraded most steadily, though the ship listed heavily. Boats ordered to be lowered were crushed to matchwood, but they served as fenders when the destroyer appeared. The survivors are load in praise of the skill and heroism of the destroyer which raced eight times alongside, now high abore, now. deep below the Otranto as the waves tossed her. The men were ordered jump and some did so safely, but others were crushed to death between the destroyer and the Otranto or were killed by the fall on the deck of the destroyer. Many were badly injured Others after swimming a long time were rescued by the destroyer. Even then the fate of the x aboard the destroyer was uncertain for she was. leaking and the pumps were going. They were kneedeep in water and lashed to the guns and fitings, but she fought the seas for 7 or 8 hours.. A Naval officer rescued from the Otranto said be was asleep at the time of the collision and only heard of it two hours later when the ship was breaking up When the destroyer departed he and a group of othcers went to the after-part while many of the men took to the water and clung to rafts and wreckage. Finally the deck collapsed above the officers, who took to the water except the Captain and 2 or 3 others. The narrator and others were washed up and wete choked with sand... They were unconscious and most were braised and injured by the. Waves. Many bodies were buried in the sand while 150 others Iring in Islay" Church will be buried in graves dog od shore.
