Dear Mr. Swiggum,

On your webpage:
http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/Elder_Dempster.html

I found

Elder Dempster:

Abosso (2)
1935
1942 torpedoed and sunk 700 miles NW of the Azores; loss of approx.
340 lives.
11,330

The latest research on the ship puts the number of people lost with the
Abosso at:

361

see:

http://www.lind.org.zw/ships/dempster_line/abosso/complement_abosso.pdf

I assume you based your info on Cowden, who gives 340, but his
information is definitively wrong.

Yours,

Lucas Bruijn.
