WILLIAMSTOWN ENGINEER WAS ON TORPEDOED VESSEL
Ross Stevens, eldest son or Senior-constable I. N. Stevens, or the Williamstown police was fourth engineer on the S.S. Conch (5620 tons), which was recently sunk by a German submarine. The vessel was owned by the British Imperial Oil Company. A cablegram from Constable Stevens to the London agents of the company brought a reply holding out no hope that any of the crew had been saved. Ross Stevens was 23 years old, and held a diploma from the Workingmen's College, Melbourne.
