SAYS Liner WAS SUNK
BY german SUBMARINE
Commander Of British Steamer De.
clares He Witnessed Attack
q on the Hesperian.

NORFOLK. Va. September 24.-Capt.
smellie of the British steamer Crosby
has filed with the British consul at
Newport News a statement to the effect
that he witnessed the sinking of the
Allan liner Hesperian, and that it was
done by a torepdo fired from German
submarine. He says the same subma-
rine gave chase to the Crosby, and
that only by putting on full steam ana
steering a zigzag course in the dark
ness was he able to escape.
A copy of Capt. Smellie's statement
could not be secured. and It was stated
that the document would be sent to the
British admiralty to refute the claim
from Berlin that the Hesperian was
sunk by a floating mine.
Sights the Hesperian.
Capt Smelie says he left London
August 81 for Newport News and that
late in the afternoon of September he
sighted a. liner a few miles off his
starboard bow. He later learned the
vessel was the Hesperian. Just about
dark, he says, the liner appeared to
give lurch and began to sink by the
head.
He started to her assistance. but had
hardly gotten the bow of his vessel
around when he discovered submarine
making directly for him. He was
forced to turn his vessel around ana
rang for full speed ahead. Then ne
sent a warning to the fireroom to put
on all steam the vessel could stand.
He kept the stern of his vessel to-
ward the submarine and steered zig
gag course. All lights on the Grossly
were extinguished. He says the subma-
rine did not open fire on his vessel and
when morning came the enemy had dis
appeared.
The Crosby is now at Lamberts
point, near Norfolk.
