Frost, the American consl at Queenstown, has sent to the American embassy here the following report regarding the sinking of the Laconia: "The Laconia was torpedoed with out warning at 10,30 p. m. in a heavy sea, while the ship was mak ing 17 knots. The first torpedo struck on the stateboard about aft the en gine room. The engines stopped and the ship turned, listing to starboard. Most of the boats were launched from the starboard side. "'Twenty minutes later, after most of the boats were cleared, a second torpedo was fired', striking the en gines on the port side. The ship sank in 45 minutes after the firintr of the first torpedo. "lhe ship was armed with two 4.7- inch guns. The ship's wireless was kept in continual action until the las4: minute. (Six rockets also were sent up and all the lifeboats were equipped with ample supply of flares. The cargo consisted ot cotton and foodstuffs. '"The submarine was not seen from the Laconia, but after the second torpedo had been fired arid the boats launched a submarine appeared on the surface, came alongs'de the boat containing the second officer and ask ed for the captain. 'The submarirfc commander told the people in the second officer's boat that a British admiralty patrol boat had caught the Laconia's wireless and was coming to the scene. The submarine made no offer to aid and submerged immediately after. "Thirteen boats were launched from the Lacon a. The Hoys (Mrs E. Hoy and Miss Elizabeth Hoy, Chicago) were in No. 8, which was swamped, its lifeJ-belted passengers being picked up by other boats, but who suffered severely as the result of exposure in the cold water. "lhe boats after leaving the La conia had to scatter rather widen- in order to avoid the danger of col lision in the 12 foot swells wh en were running. Flares were kept al ight by most of the boats during the five hours of anxious (waiting ,for the patrol to arrive. The patrol be gan picking up the boats at 4 o'clock in the morning but had not fin ished until daybreak." (Consul Frost further reported that an American negro, Thomas Coilee, a member of the Laconia crew, was among the lost. )He was the only American member of the crew that perished. iMost of the death occurred in one of the lifeboats which became sepa rated from the others and was brought to shore at Bantry. Of 22 persons in this boat, eight died of ex posure and were buried at sea. Austen Y. Hoy, resides here as representative of an American firm. iMrs. and Miss Hoy went home to the United States sometime ago to settle some family business affairs and Austen Htfoyl repeatedly cabled them not to return until the present crisis was over but they evidently de cided to risk the trip. Dr. Albert H. Hoy, the father, an aged man, is prostrated with grief.
