The Admiralty states that the hospital ship Gloucester Castle was torpedoed without warning in mid-Channel on the night of the 30th March. All the wounded were saved. A Berlin official message on Wednesday proclaims that the vessel was submarined, thus removing any doubt on the matter. The Admiralty also states that the Salta was mined and sunk in bad weather in the Channel on Tuesday. There were no wounded aboard, but five medicals, nine nursing sisters, and 38 of the R.A.M.C. personnel are missing.
