HOW S. S. SOUTHBOROUGH WAS SUNK.
The survivors of four torpedoed Australian steamers— Warilda, Barunga, Southborough and another vessel — disembarked yesterday at Victoria Dock. Of 32 repatriated sailors five were from the steamer Southborough, in connection with the Ioss of which a brief announcement was made on 2'2nd July. The only survivors from the sinking of the Southborough were six Australians, five of whom returned yesterday. Their names are: — F. Johnson, seaman, N.S.W.; W. Robinson, assistant steward; W. Regan,fireman, of 59 beach-street, Port Melbourne; D. Davenport, trimmer, Fremantle; and J. Franklin, sailor, Sydney. J. W. Walton, a Sydney trimmer, signed olf in London. Twenty-eight men, including Captain W. Eade and two Australians named E. Roberts (New South Wales) and C. Heazelwood, of Melbourne, were drowned.
According to the men, the Southborough was in sight of land en route from a French port when she was torpedoed. She was heavily laden with iron ore, and sank in less than a minute, precipitating all onboard into the water. The weather was fine, and the Southborough was one of a convoy of 47 vessels. The man in the crow's nest sighted the track of the torpedo about 12.30 p.m., and the next moment the vessel was a complete wreck forward. The lookout man, who immediately slid down one of the foremast stays, had barely reached the deck before the vessel went down at the bow. J. Franklin, an able seaman, who was dragged under by the suction, had an extremely narrow escape of being cut down by the vessel's propeller as the stern came down after the vessel's dive at tho bow. 'The captain was in charge,' said a seaman yesterday, ''and we could see the buildings on shore. Then in one minute 28 of our number were dead. I saw poor Captain, Eade haul himself on to some wreckage only to be immediately washed off again. The end came so suddenly that the destroyers and trawlers had no chance to effect a rescue.'
Three other shipwrecked mariners who debarked here yesterday were on a steamer bound for Melbourne with the war tank. The vessel was torpedoed, and was beached in a damaged condition.

The Wooroora Producer (Balaklava, S.A.) 26-9-1918
The Loss of the Southborough
Mr, P. G. LEDAN ONE OF THE VICTIMS.
Port Pirie, September 21.
The hope was cherished, when the sad news filtered through to Australia that the steamer Southborough had been torpedoed and sunk while on a voyage to the old country, that Mr Perry Ledan, who was third engineer on the vessel, might be amongst the survivors. There were few young men better known in the Port, Son of Mr and Mrs Peter Ledan, young Perry from boyhood to manhood had been a prime favorite with al with whom he came in contact, and his jovial, hearty disposition as he emerged into manhood seemed to have developed as the years passed. After the news of the sinking was received, hope remained to the anxious parents that their son might have been saved, for among the list of survivors was the name of Began, and as some difficulty was experienced in locating the address of this man, it was thought possible that there might have been some confusion in regard to the names. The parents, through the kind offices of the Broken Hill Associated Smelters, made all inquiries by cable, but they could learn nothing which would strengthen the conviction that Perry had been saved, and the blow fell very heavily on the afflicted parents when through the B. H. A.S, the following sad intelligence was transmitted:—"Ledan was on board unfortunately. Lost coming to this country (England)" Much sympathy is felt for the parents and Miss Ledan in their bereavement.
Writing under date June 14 to his parents the young officer describes his visit to Malta, where they spent several days. Mr Ledan was passionately fond of the water, and states that at Malta he was able to indulge his bent to his heart's content. The letter also contains a very kindly reference to the captain of the Southborongh (Captain Eade), who was well known and highly respected in Port Pirie. It states that the captain, who also unfortunately was lost, was elated at the prospect of reaching his home in England in the immediate future. Again, on the 10th of June, from Tunis, Mr Ledan wrote to his parents as follows (this was the last letter they received from him) :—"Just a few lines to let you know that we are still afloat. This (Tunis) is a town in the north of Africa. It reminds me very much of Hummocks Hill, but is much larger. We are to load iron ore, the same as at the Iron Knob. It is a French port. We had a good trip across, the voyage becoming more interesting each day, as we do not know our port of destination after leaving the last one. There is some lovely scenery here big ranges close to the ship, and any amount of fruit gardens" Thus, as we have stated, was the last letter his parents received from the young engineer, and the only information regarding his fate is that conveyed in the cable received through the B. H.A .S , who have in this instance, as in numberless others, spared neither time nor trouble so that the afflicted parents and relatives may be in receipt of all information in regard to the fate of their loved ones.
