The place of the disas- ter was not given in the official anâ€" nouncement, nor had the cause of the vessel's, loss been' determined. The ‘brief andrather meagre officuil statement issued wasas follows: “The battleship Formidable was sunk in the Channel but whether by a. mine or a submarine is not yet certain. . . . “Eighty survivors have been pick- ed up by a British ligh't cruiser,and I it is‘pOssible that others may have been rescued by other vessels.” It was later announced that the Tor Bay trawler Providence had landed 70 additional survivors. They were rescued by the trawler during a 'terrific storm Friday morning, This makes the . aggreâ€" gate number of saved, so far as is known, 150.

" ii ' When the cutter left the l‘iormid» able she had (50 men aboard. but‘ during the long struggle with the gale twenty died and their bodies were cast overboard to lighten the, boat and give the living a bettcrl chance of escaping. At an inquest held in Lyme Regis, Master-atâ€"arms Cooper. of the. Formidable. said that after the explosion the vessel settled to starboard and'was coverâ€" ed with debris. Tbe. men in xthe cutter were so scantily clad that even heavy. work at the oars was Insufficient to keep them warm. . The launching of the 'boat' ’ in which these survivors left the'vesâ€" sel was accomplished with the ut- most difficulty. The heavy Seas rock" ed-the battleship constantly, and one boat was smashed againct the bridge. Immediately after the launching the officer in charge shouted to the men to: make. for two liners whose llglhtS were just visible seven miles away. but- they were unable'to‘find the liners.’ It was a terrible task to keep the boat head to wind. Heavy seas were constantly breakâ€" Jng over. and during the launching a big hole had been stove in her stern. ' ‘ F‘ l 4'“- ._ . M A It”? Dl-Zl‘lii’l‘s [.0 l'leS'I‘S.
