in the British channel, when the
American line steamship st. Paul cut
down the British cruiser Gladiator,
has upset the nerves of the admiralty

The first OF today's accidents was
to the British torpedo boat destroyer

scout boat Attentive.
Engineer Lieutenant Frank A.

The torpedo boat destroyer Ribbie
was the second war craft to suffer
1t is said the R.bble was struck by
the Gala In rccoiing from the blow
dealt by the Attentive. The Ribbie
has a hole cut in her plates and she
returned to Sheerness with two com
partments flooded.
The hotilla was engaged in night
maneuyers at the time, and the coll
lision is said to have been due to mis-
understood signals.
The third disaster was TO the Brit

boilers exploded off Portsmouth and
four men were seriously and one
slightly injured. The Britannia is ex-
pected to reach port tonight.
