WHITBY, England, via London, Oct. 30-Tho loss ot life on the British hospital ship Rohilla, which crashed on' the rocas of the Yorkshire coast near here before dawn today, was a matter of doubt tonight. The vessel i is a'total wreck, having broken in two while life savers on share were shoot ing linea and. trying vainly to make one fast to the ship. Bearing physicians, nurses and hos pital supplies, the Rohilla was pn her way to a Belgian or French port when driven aahore. It;is understood all wo men on board were saved, Including a survivor of the Titanic disaster. The fate of the physicians is uncertain as is that of the captain and crew. The total number of people on board is estimated at 200. When the striken vessel broke eight men could be. seen climbing to a piece of wreckage from the af ter part of the ship and lt is assumed that they were 'swept to their death in the boiling sea. Fourteen bodies had been washed ashore, this evening. Rain was falling in torrents, a gate Was blowing a cd Ute seas were moun tainous when the vessel bit the rocks. Dintress rockets immediately flared above the Rohilla attracting the coast g'iards, bot as the sea continued vio-, h nt it was impossible to launch only two boats from ashore. These, boats brought back all tho peaple they could carry. Most of the ship's boats were crush ed In attempts to launch them and on ly one got away, bearing a handful bf survivors.

The middle part of the rohilla was all that remained above waC*.r at mid night and on this were the survivors, whose number was variously estimat ed. They were signalled to swim tor it but seemed to hesitate. Several died from exposure. Whether the remnant of the ship could last until morning unless the sea' abated seemed doubtful.
