The British submarine A-3 crash
ed into the British gunboat Hazard
in the fog this morning off the Isle
of Wright.
The submarine sank like stone
and her entire crew of eleven men,
drowned.
Scene of Previous Horror.
The collision took place at the
identical spot where the British sub
marine Al sank with all hands on
board on March IS, 1904. -=Z
The collision this morning came at
a time when the gunboat was under
full head of steam and while the
submarine was maneuvering not far
from shore. .. --~
Sent Spinning to Bottom.
The small submarine was caught
square by the more powerful and
bigger fighter, the Hazard.
The submarine at once was flooded
and before the men in the under
water weapon could make an effort
at escape, they had been carried down
and their bodies have not been re-
covered. .Ez-.
Doomed Men Have no Chance.
The OXYGEN tanks and machinery
by which the craft is able to pro-
ceed under water were deranged and
as the open sea equipment was in use,
the water tight cover being up, the
ocean swept into the submarine and
sent her down in a few seconds time

Life boats hastily were put out
from the gunboat and every effort
made to locate the doomed men but
without avail.

may be located and the bodies of the
dead sailors rescued.

The captain of the Hazard says he
was proceeding cautiously at the
time and is unable to explain the
cause of the collision.

His Neck Broken.
That GundersOn came to his death
by having his neck broken in his fall
against the steam radiator in the
hall at the depot and that the blow
was struck by Patrick Burke is the
substance of the verdict rendered by
the coroners jury which listened to
the evidence presented at the Losey
& Dean undertaking parlors.
On the jury were N. B. Chase, c..
Peterson, Charles Bahma, P. J. Wal
ters, Charles Blunt and John John
son. Coroner Dean had charge of the
inquest and County Attorney. Flem-
ing conducted the Investigation.
War Veteran Testifes.
Willis Graves, aged CO years. the
veteran soldier of Pequot, was ex-
amined and stated that he know
nothing about the who'e matter and
that he had been drinking and re-
membered nothing. It was the pen
sion money of Graves that furnished
the funds for the drinking bout and
it was the dispute over some of the
money that caused the quarrel be-
tween Gunderson and Burke which
terminated fatally for Gunderson.
William Collins, aged Al years,

quired as to the disposition of the
body of Gunderson and offered to as

regret over the accident and declares

Gunderson Faithful Worker.
While employed by Mr.. Herbert,
proprietor of the Union depot lunch
room here, Gunderson was faithful
and although given to a liberal use
of intoxicants, was, generally speak
ing, considered trustworthy and de-
pendable. His work was mostly
cheap labor. He usually worked as
lumberjack in the winter and as
harvest and threshing hand in the
summer and fall.
