ESPAGNE, DARK, HITS
UNKNOWN IN STORM
Liner and Freighter Proceed
After Collision in Bay
of Biscay.

In these days OF prowllng submarines
all liners n f%reightcrs steam through
war zones with lights doused and life
boats swung out ready to launch. That
was tie case with the French liner
Espagne. In yesterday from Bordeaux.
when she bumped Into an unidentified
freight steamship in n storm in the Bay
OF Biscay on the night OF October 81. two
days from port. The ookouts of neither
ship saw the other In time to prevent
them from coming together.
The Espagne was slightly slit, dented
and SCARED on the port bow and the
unknown had n cash in her side some
distance above the water line. but
neither skipper knew how much hurt his
ship was until some time after the coll
lision. and Capt. Laurent Of the Espagne,
as a precautionary measure. sent out a
wireless call for help. getting quick re.
sponses from three British cruisers, the
American freight steamship Missourian
and n French steamship.
The Espagne's passengers behaved
with calmness. the commander says. al
though somewhat Jared by the impact.
Some thought there had been a subma-
rinc attack. BY electric signalling Capt.
Laurent learned that the damaged
tranger needed no assistance: IN fact,
he was SO little hurt that he proffered
help to the liner. which was declined
with hanks. Both ships proceeded, the
Espagne patching her wound on the way.
Max Linder, called the French Charlie
Chaplin. who arrived by the Espagne. Is
here TO star in moving pictures. He has
been two years with the artillery. was
shot in the arm and Is on furlough. In
the early part Of the war he was re-
ported killed.
