| COLLIER, SAYS LONDON
I teamer Royterana Destroyed by Ger
mar Submarine Off E~astbourne.
Channel Boat Dodges Torpedo.


London, Feb. 25.-A dispatch from
Berlin asserts that an official state
ment was made by the German adj
miralty of the sinking of the British
transport No. 1872 by a German sub
marine off Beachy Head, on the Eng
lish channel
Whether this is correct or whether
the boat that went down Is the Brit
ish collier Branksome Chine, which
was struck by either a torpedo or a
mine, is in doubt, but officials in Lon
don are inclined to believe the col
lier Is the vessel meant.
Eighteen men from the Branksome
Chine landed near Beachy Head in a
small boat. They reported the vessel
in distress, and said that the captain
and mate were standing by, although
the vessel was awash and in a sinking
condition. AS the ship has not been
heard from since it Is supposed she
must have been sunk.
The steamer Royterana was sunk
off Eastbourne. 1t is believed she was
%torpedoed by a German submarine.
The crew of thirty-one men were
saved.
The British steamship Oakby was
%torpedoed by a German submarine off
Rye ON Tuesday. Her crew was res
cued by a fishing smack and landed at
Ramsgate.
The Oakby was bound in ballast
from London for Cardiff, Wales. She
was struck on the port side. Her
decks were splintered and the binna-
Gle was hurled into the air. One life
boat was swamped by the great vol
