Fifteen boatloads have been accounted for.” WASHINGTON, Aug. | 19.—Eleven boat- loads of survivors from the torpedoed liner Arabic arrived at Queenstown today, Amer- ican Vice Consul Thompson reported to the state department. President Wilson was on the steps of the White House, starting for the golf links, when word of the Arabic reached him. He abandoned his plans for a game and returned to his office to await developments. Officials were visibly perturbed by the attack, and especially by the reports that there may have been some loss of life. No informa- tion has been received as to whether any of the victims may have been Americans. It was admitted that the sinking of the Arabic might develop a serious situation if there were Americans aboard and the liner was tor- pedoed without warning. LONDON, Aug. 19.—The White Star liner Arabic, en route from Liverpool to New | York, was. sunk early today by a German submarine, about five miles off Fastnet. The |big 15,000 ton liner was sent to the bottom jabout 60 miles from the spot where the Lusi- ‘ania was similarly destroyed.
