that the next of kin had been
notified.
The Ingraham was the ,15th
destroyer lost since last October.
The 1,600 ton vessel which was
only a year old, was built and
comnyiBaioneei at the Charleston
Navy yard.
The Navy also revealed yester-
day and early today the sinking
by Axis submarines of four—pos-
sibly five—more merchant ships.
The latest announcement said a
'small British vessell was sent to
the bottom several hundred miles
off the Atlantic coast.
Thirty-six men lost their lives
«n the sinking, which took place
early in August.
Why the Navy made the an-
nouncement at such an odd hour
—in the wee hours of the morn-
ing isn't known.
Five survivors were landed at
a New England port after 15 days
at sea without food or water.
Four were picked up from a raft.
And one was found 35 miles
away in a water logged lifeboat
The Navy also haa announced
the sinking of a Greek ship off

ship in the Caribbean.
