DETAILS OF SINKING OF THE ANCONA. Was Attempting to Escape When She Was Torpedoed. Rome, Nov. 10.—How many persons lost their lives in the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona by a submarine in the Mediterranean has not been defi- nitely ascertained, but latest advices from Naples say that 320 survivors have been latided at Tunis ports and 50 at Malta. The number of passen- gers on the Ancona is placed at 482, and the crew has been estimated vari- ously from 60 to 160. May Be Other Survivors. The Ancona carried boats for the ac- commodation of 2,500 and it is possible that some of the boats are still afloat and may bring in additional survivors in the next 24 hours. 5 Ane was torpedoed Tuesday nxr)n ‘Tunis despatches o the ‘Italia give ad ramatic, through brief, account of the-attack. ‘Attempted to “A submarine approached the An- econa towards noon,” says this account, “angd as soon as the steamer saw it an ttempt ‘was made to escape at full 7 Overtaken and Stopped. “The Ancona was overtaken and stopped. Then the submarine fired on ‘the Ancona, sinking her amid the des. perate cries of the passengers. “The lifeboats were netx attacked, the submarines likewise firing on them. A woman, a man and two children were killed. Their bodies are at Bizer- ta. . “The submarine then disappeared immediately, proceeding probably in the direction of the Aegean sea. Sent Out Wireless Call. Before sinking, the Ancona was able to send out a wireless call for help. This was heard by the station at Bizerta. Aid was sent promptly and thus 160 passengers and 10 sailors were saved. They were taken to Ferryville (in the environs of Bierta), where they were attended by physicans and the consul. 3 “Among the survivors are a number of wounded emigrants, nearly ail Vene- tians and, 10 Greeks.
