Britain Again Stirred by
Bold Raid of Waters by
Kaiser's Submarine-Crew
of Warship Saved,
EIGHT BRITISH WARsHIPs
SUNK BY SUBMARINES
LONDON, Nov. 70.


The German submarine menace again
held the attention OF the Admiralty to-
day. Selecting new zone OF operation
and creeping to within n mile of the coast
off Deal only eight miles from Dover
and 65 miles from London, German sub
marine torpedoed and sent to the bottom
the British gunboat Niger
The Niger was in full view of hundreds
on shore when a dense column of smoke
was suddenly seen TO rise from her. She
gave a heavy list and within n short
time her crew was in the water, clinging
TO her shattered woodwork and bits OF
furniture. The loud explosion brought the
people of Deal rushing to the pier The
rescue of the crew by gallcys which hur-
rlcd out could be seen from shore.
There were, perhaps, hundred vessels
anchored in the Downs about the Niger.
The Admiralty officers today are admit
tedly suspicious OF one small cruiser
which had been anchored alongside the
Niger for several days. She new the
Dutch flag. This warshp left the Downs
only a short time before the Niger was
struck. Efforts to learn the identity of
the mysterious cruiser nave ldlieu anu
some express the belief that she was not
Dutch, but a German vessel, covering the
movements OF the submarine.
Lieutenant Commander Muir, OF the
Niger, in an interview following the dis
aster, said he cou. see the torpedo which
ntruck his vessel speeding toward him.
but was helpless. MEMBERS of the crew
declared they saw the body OF the sub
marine come to the surface for an instant
following tho explosion.
The Admiralty official report declares
that only four members OF the Niger
crew were wounded, two seriously. All
were rescued.
Panic prevailed among the hundreds
who stood watching the sight from the
beach. Fortunately the North Deal gall
ley Hope, commanded by John Budd, lay
at anchor near the spot The boatmen
rowed swiftly to the scene.
I'VE saw the sailors" said Budd,
dumping from the vessels side. As VIC
ncared the fast disappearing vessel We
came upon swarms of men struggling in
the sea, heroically helping to support each
other.
THE men were so thick in the water
that they grasped at our oars as we
dipped them in the sea. We rescued so
many that our own boat was in danger
OF sinking.

take no more In, but they continued to
