U. BOAT HID BEHIND
 HULK OF DUNSLEY
German Submarine Was Lying fin Wait to Attack Arabic State Sur
 vivors of Former Craft.

Liverpool, Aug. 23, 4:15 a. m.-Ac- cording to survivors of the steamer Dunsley, torpedoed by a German sub marine just before the White Star liner Arabic was sunk, the underwater craft hid behind the Dunsley's unsunk hunk to lie in wait for the larger vessel. The survivors declare they had been ordered off their ship and were in lifeboats when the submarine concealed herself from the approach ing Arabic.
 It is stated that when the liner came close enough to make an at- tack possible, the submarine sub- merged, went around the Dunsley's stern and launched the fatal torpedo. Survivors say that the German boat, which came alongside the Dunsley, bore no number.
