Dictionary of Disasters at Sea by C R Hocking quotes:

CITY OF PARIS Ellerman Lines; 1907; Barclay, Curle & Co.; 9,239 tons; 493.2' x 57.7' x 32.6'; 670 n.h.p.; 15 knots; quadruple-expansion engines. The City of Paris was on her way from India to Marseilles with a general cargo and 13 passengers. She had received several code warnings that submarines were about, and therefore pursued an erratic course hoping to avoid an encounter, but without success for she was torpedoed by the submarine U35 shortly before midnight on April 4th, 1917. 46 miles S. by E. of Cap d'Antibes. The liner's people were in the act of boarding the boats when the submarine surfaced and called for the captain but was unable to find him. She then opened fire on the liner before sinking her with a second torpedo. Later, French warships on patrol picked up three boats containing the dead bodies of 29 lascar members of the crew. Another boat containing 12 dead was also picked up and two other boats were never found. The number of persons killed was 122.
