ENGLISH
CRUISER
IS SUNK

LONDON, Nov. "a
England was fairly frantic
with rage today at the tor
pedoing by German SUBJ
marine of the British gun
boat Niger, less than a mile
off the port of Deal and
only eight miles from the
great naval base of Dover.
Something like 100 vessels
were anchored In the Downs.
In the Myers Vicinity. The
qunboat was sunk In full view
Of crowds OF people on shore.
The explosion when the YES
sci was struck brought thou
sands with a rush to the pier,
whence they first saw a thick
puff Of smoke arise from the
stricken craft, then watched
the boat list heavily, settle
down by the bow with lts stern
rising higher and higher above
the water, until 20 minutes aft
er the torpedo was fired, u
dIssppsared beneath the
waves.
Three Men Are Lest
Galleys had put out from shore
In the meantime. Members OF the
Myers crew were rescued with the
exception OF three who were still
missing today and undoubtedly per-
ished. Four others were injured
by the explosion.
Lieut.. Commander Muir, the gun
boats commander. was the last
man saved. jumping from his
bridge into the sea as the vessel
went down.
Muir was authority for the state
ment that the oncoming torpedo
was seen from the Niger's deck.
but the attack was SO sudden, he
explained. that the crew was pow
erless to do anything to save the
craft
Submarine Is Sighted
The submarine which fired the
deadly missile was also briefly Wis
ible at the surface Just after the
explosion.
Admiralty officials admitted they
were suspicious Of small cruiser
flying the Dutch flag which an
chored close to the Niger several
days ago and left shortly before
the latter was sunk.
They were OF the opinion that
this ship really was German and
that its mission was to cover the
movements OF the submarine which
did the actual torpedoing.
