Returned Soldier Recounts Otranto Affray and Sinking
A returned soldier recounts the Otranto disaster detailing the ship grounding on a reef near the island at 11 o clock. Soldiers leapt into the sea and on lowered rafts but perished as waves hurled them against the hull. The liner broke in two and only twenty survived, seventeen soldiers and three crew members. The captain disappeared from the bridge as the mast snapped and was carried overboard. The wreck claimed 200 bodies recovered by Thursday after the Monday sinking.
