It will be recalled that seven European and 14 Indian members of the crew of the British cargo steamer Shahzada were drowned in the sinking of the vessel in the Bay of Bengal on July 14. There were 51 survivors.

The vessel was bound for Burma with a cargo of coal and sank so rapidly that there was no time to launch the lifeboats.

Five boats broke away from the sinking vessel and the survivors swam to them.
