PROVENCE WAS SUNK
BY A SUBMARINE
Survivors, Story Clears Up the Cause
of the Disaster Which Cost over
5000 Lives.

PARIS, March That the French
auxiliary cruiser Provence, which was
sunk in the Mediterranean on Feb. &c
with 4 loss of more than 800 lives, was
the victim of a torpedo is made plain
by the story told by one of the sur
vivors, which, in part, has reached
here.
Every man would have been
saved, says the survivor, whose
name is Bokanowski, if it had been
within human possibility. Unfortu-
nately the ship settled rapidly. The
water soon got to the boilers, which
began exploding within a few minutes.
! threw myself into the sea and swan
away as far as | could; then looked
back and saw the ship plunging with
her Prov in the air.
= After half an hour in the water /
reached a raft, already overloaded,
but the occupants dragged me aboard.
Night came on, with wind that bit
through the naked skin of the men.
Yet there was not complaint. Ny
unfortunate comrades had nothing to
say except of the fate of the drowned
and in execration of the Germans.
The gunners of the piece at the
stern of the Provence, having loaded
the gun the instant the torpedo
struck, remained at their post seeking
the concealed enemy until the weapon
was submerged by the waves.'
The first official statement concern
ing the sinking of the Provence said:
- No signs of a submarine were noticed
either before or after the sinking =
The second official statement gave no
explanation as to the cause of the
disaster.
