BOAT CUT IN TWAIN;
36 LIVES ARE LOST

Portsmouth, England. April 6.-Thir-
ty-six men, including Lieutenant Mid
dleton, commander of the torpedo boat
destroyer Tiger, lost their lives in a
collision late last night between that
vessel and the British cruiser Berwick
The vessel were engaged in night
maneuvers in the channel while on the
way TO Portland. The night was very
dark. The Berwick was steaming slow
ly when the destroyer attempted to
cross the big cruisers bow. She was
caught midships and cut in half with
knife like precision, sinking almost I'M
mediately. The deck crew, who were
dressed in heavy oil skins and boot.
went down with the vessel, not hav-
ing time to free themselves from these
heavy encumberances.
OF the SO men who We're rescued
most of them were foreigners and
stockers who. having light clothing.
were able to keep themselves up till
rescuers came from other ships.
The smaller naval vessels were in the
midst OF an attack on their bigger con-
sorts when the disaster occurred. The
entire fleet was under masked lights
and in absolute darkness.
The Tiger suddenly was struck
square amidships by the Berwick. the
sharp steel OF this vessel cut the des-
troyer in two as II she had been made
Of paper. Instantaneously the sea be-
came dotted with struggling men. most
of them, however, sank before help
could reach them
Lieutenant Middleton was on the
bridge at the time OF the disaster and
went down with the forepart Of the
| ship. The Tiger had a complement of
| 50 men and was of 400 tons.
