    Hi and welcome,
    It is likely from the Survivor's Report that all of those killed were lost in the intitial explosion.

    I have attached some documents including a photo of Donald taken in the MN in about 1919. Also some other records from the Fourth Register of Seamen.

    Regards
    Hugh
