German submarine. The Norwegian
steamer Regin was torpedoed in the
English channel off Dover today. She
sank in less than fifteen minutes
Several channel ships closed in about
her and picked up the twentv-turn
members Of her crew. They were
taken to Dover.
The first victim was also q Nor
wegisn vessel. the BelridEe, which
was torpedoed Off FoIkestone on Feb
ruary 19. The Regin was sunk today
in almost the same spot. indicating
that the submarine terrors still con-
stitute menace to trade.
The Regin was en- route from New
Castle-on-Tyn to Bordeaux laden
with coal. She did not heed the
warning Of the German neutrality to
neutral vessels to take the route
around the north of Scotland. In
stead she sailed through the North
Sea hugging the British coast and
was proceeding the channel when at
tackled.
