No A ] Run Down and Sunk Of
Nab Lightship by a Donald
Currie Liner
ELEVEN PERSONS DROWNED.
Was Waiting the Approach of Bat
tleship--Accidcnt Was Not known
For Several Hours.

Portsmouth, March lS.-Brtish sub
marine boat No. A was run down and
sunk of the Nab llghtshlp today by
Donald Currie liner, and II persons
were drowned, including Lieut.. Man
sergh, the senior officer engaged In the
submarine work,
The liner passed on and reported that
she had struck torpedo
At the time she was struck the sub
marine was of the lghtship engaged
in the maneuvers, and was lying in
seven fathoms OF water waiting the
approach Of a battleship.
The boat was one of the newest Of
the fleet of submarine vessels and was
built from one OF the latest models,
but she has always been a bad diver,
She was inspected recently by both
King Edward and the Prince OF Wales.
The name of the Donald Currie liner
which struck the submarine boat Is the
Berwick Castle, from East London,
South Africa.
The loss of the boat was not known
for several hours after the liner had
reported TO the maneuvering fleet that
she had struck a torpedo.
The officers OF the liner say that they
saw glistening torpedo-like shape in
the water, and Il Is supposed, therefore,
that the submarine boat rose Just be.
fore she was struck
The officers OF the feet did not sup
pose for moment that the submarine
had been struck and continued opera
tons. expecting that vessel TO reappear
at some other point. Finally search
was made, and the breaking OF the
waves revealed the presence OF the
submarine boat
There is no doubt that all the mem
bers of the crew died in the steel tube.
1t is thought that the Berwick Cas-
tie, In striking, upset the trim Of the
boat and spilled the gasolene In the
tanks, rendering her helpless, The
crew was battened down and must
have met death from suffocation In the
absence Of air and owing to the fumes.
