U-BOAT 140 Lives Lost on Cameronia in Mediterranean. A despatch from London says:--It {8 officially announced that the trans- rt Cameronia has been sunk. One jundred and forty men on" board are missing. The Admiralty report read: "The British transport Cameronia, with troops, was torpedoed by an ene- my submarine in the Eastern Medi- terranean on April 16. One hundred and forty men are missing, and are presumed to have been drowned." The survivors of the Cameronia say the vessel was torpedoed in fine, calm weather in the afternoon. The sub- marine was not seen. A large number of the casualties were due to the ex- plosion of the torpedo, which struck where there happened to be many soldiers. . There was some excitement and confusion at the outset after the torpedo had struck, but discipline soon prevailed. = The boats were smartly ed, and many lives were lost. The Cameronia was afloat for 40 minutes after she was torpedoed, which en- abled torpedo-boat destroyers to run alongside the wounded vessel.
