Description: | Ms message (1p) written on board the British India Steam Navigation Company vessel SS MANTOLA after she had been torpedoed in the Atlantic by a German submarine in February 1917; the message, written by passenger E M Rees, asks the finder to inform his father in New York of his loss at sea, as the ship 'is sinking rapidly'. In fact, as an attached ms note dated June 1918 indicates, most of the crew and all of the passengers were rescued.
