TORPEDO BOAT IS LOST
WITH ALL ON BOARD.

LONDON March lo.--After the maneu-
yers off Portsmouth, which were regarded
by some to have demonstrated that the
submarine torpedo boat would revolution
ize warfare, comes the story Of terrible
disaster which hefell one Of the boats.
A submarine boat. known in the British
navy as 'No. A, became disabled under
water and the entire crew Of eleven off.
GERS and men were drowned.
The boat was waiting outside Ports
mouth harbor for one of the cruisers, and
had been submerged to test some of the
machinery. While under water, one of
the big liners came along and struck the
torpedo boat just as ii started to come to
the surface. The damage was such that
the boat turned over and went to the
bottom with all on board. Details Of the
accident are meager, but there is little
doubt that the lives Of all the crew were
lost.
1t is reported that the boat was con
sidered a bad diver and that on several
occasions she had to return to the harbor
on account of her submerging tanks and
rising apparatus going wrong.

night. The two negroes have bad repu-

Both girls are unusually good looking
and are well known here. They belong to

When the tide ebbs an effort will be
made TO raise the vessel and the fate of
the crew will then be known II il said
today that the boat is provided with APP
paratus that win supply sufficient air to
keep the men alive for three days This
gives some hope that the crew may possi-
bly, be alive, but it is feared that the
blow which caused the boat to sink may
have caused her to spring aleak or have
disabled the machinery so that the air
supplying mechanism could not be ops
