NAVAL CATASTROPHE
Japanese Ship Overturns CREW OF 104 ALL LOST (By Telegraph—Preus Assn.—Copyright.) (Received 13, 10.30 a.m.) TOKIO, March 12. The destroyer Tatsuta is towing the torpedo boat Tomozuru to Sasebo. The Tomozuru capsized owing to very heavy seas. Aeroplanes vainly searched for survivors, but all 106 have been given up as lost. The Tomozuru, one of the newest torpedo boats, was a 527-tonner. The occurrence recalls a very similar tragedy in which the destroyer Sawarabi capsized in Formoso Strait on December 5, 1932, when 104 were drowned.
