London, Oct. 5th-The Hamburg-Ameri-
can Liner "Amerika" collided with and sunk
the British submarine B 2, which was man
onvliug with a hotilla off the South Foreland,
Both halves of the submarine sank forthwith
and fourteen lives were lost, the sole sur
vivor being Lieutenant Pulleyne. The
'Amerika" was scarcely scratched, and pro-
ceedod to Southampton, having vainly done
all possible by searching for any survivors,
assisted by torpedo boats from Dover. The
rest of the submarine hotilla were unaware
of the disaster. The officers of the "Ameri-
ka" say that B 2 rose under her bow and
made avoidance impossible. This is the
sixth British submarine accident, and the
third worst in the world.
