By Special correspondence

Deal, England, November 12-The
greatest surprise of the present war
was sprung early this morning when
an unknown German submarine ven
tured right up to the coast of Eng
land and blew up the English gun
boat, Niger. The explosion took place
while the Niger was lying in the
Downs, opposite the Deal Pier, and
was witnessed by large number of
people. The Niger was lying peace
fully at anchor and apparently every
thing was serene, when an explosion
was heard, dense clouds of smoke
arose and the Niger was seen to lift
= high in the water and almost instant
4 go to the bottom. All the officers
Rd crew were rescued by coast boats
~ in the excitement, the submarine
appeared and was seen no more.
The explosion happening right off
the Deal coast, has created more ex-
citement than any other event of the
war.
