A collision followed and Fl 4 sank in 20 fathoms. The “Evening Standard’s” Trieste correspondent says it is believed that 34 are still alive on Fl 4. The cruiser Biindisi, with Admiral Foschini aboard, has arrived at the scene and is directing salvage, which is made most difficult by rough weather.
