FATE OF LOUD I
KITCHENER IS
LONDON, Marc! II ( pon
donee of the Associated l’ross)— Loro
Kitchener and his staff did not ev* n
reach the deck of the l'ritish cruiser
Hampshire after she struck a mine o>**
the coast of Scotland one stormy night
in June, ti»16, according to a warrant
officer who has just told the story o'
the sinking to a correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian.
Questions concerning the sinking
of the Hamp hire have boon asked in
paraliamcnt because of the persistent
rumor that the vessel had been sunk
SEWARD, ALASKA.

by’ a submarine and that Lord Kitch
ener had been carried off a prisoner
to Germany. NTo detailed statement,
however, has ever been officially giv
en out. The name of the officer who
now tells the story has not been dis-1
closed.
Four days after the Jutland battle,
according to the officer, the Hamp
shire took Lork Kitchener aboard, on
June 5 and set out with about 800
persons on board in “the foulest wea
ther known in that region,” She was i
escorted by two destroyers, who were
unable to face the storm and returned (
to port. Everything on board the ]
Hampshire was lashed down, and only
one hatchway was left open. !
About 8 o’clock in the evening the
ship was- shaken by a terrible explos
ion , and the crew scrambled for the
d ck. Officers quickly took their posts, ;
but their orders could not be beard be
cause of the raging storm and the ter
rific sound of escaping steam. Immed- j
iately after the explosion there was j
another, and all lights went out, which j
added to the confusion.
The officer with a companion, cut j
the lashings of a life raft, it being im- j
no^sib’e to launch the boats in the ter
rific sea, and the raft was slipped ov
er the side. It turned upside down,
but finally righted and ho with others
found themselves afloat. Almost im-,
mediately the ship went down, no*
rear* than five minutes after the first
xplo ion. The officer did not sec
Lord Kitchener on deck, and it is his
opinion that as only men who reached
he deck were those who went that
way. Although much confused, he
recalls trying to open a number of
other hatchways while trying to roach
the deck, and found them all battened
down.
The raft drifted with the gale for
five hours, during which time many
of the men were washed from the raft,
while others died and rolled into the
net in the center. The raft was then
tossed through an opening in a rock},
reef and beached on an island.
