9 officers and 150 men from the Kashmir, 6 officers and 98 men from the Juno, and 3 officers and 88 then from the Greyhound.
It is regretted that no news is yet available of the survivors from the Gloucester, but since the Gloucester was sunk not far from the Greek mainland and it is known that ample boats and rafts were available, it is hoped that many of her company survived.
