Fifteen Americans who reached Cork Tuesday night with the other members of the crew of the Marina after that steamer had been sunk by submarine, are today under the calE of the American consul T saw two submarines" said Rob- ert Preston, one of the crew while I was getting into the boat of Mr. Smith, (the only surviving off1cer). The second explosion came after we were clear of the ship. The first tor pedo had given the vessel a tremend ous list. The second righted it and shook it from stem to stern and broke it up so that it sank imm ediately. 'I-saw three of the crew running up the stern as the vessel gave it's last tumble. Capt. Browne was the coolest man on board. During the # launching of the boats he saw that $ every man visible was in the boat ! &then jumped for a boat himself, but 5 missed it in the rough sea and was < drowned before our eyes,"
 W Questioned further in regard to the 8prosSnce of two submarines, Preston said: '"There were two plainly visible sfronl the bridge. The first one at Lacked us on the starboard while the Bother lay off some distance to port #doing observation duty.'
 The ship was struck squarely in the bunkers," said Robert Hay, a merr1ber of the engine room staff.
 "Fhe bunkers fell in and the engines were dismantled. Two men were killed 3in the stoke hole and several others were scalded.
 ROat Smashed
 Three boats got away; a fourth was smashed. Orders were given to see particularly that all Americans bmQng passengers or crew were saved. The wireless station tried to & sumrlon aid, but his gear was dis mantled by the first torpedo"
 F. F. Smith, the only one of the Marina's officers now alive, said: sfThe explosion of the first torpedo khrew me from a settee. I rushed ap to where the boats already were

 Those who lost their lives were drowned as the life-boats were launched.
 According to this information, a submarine which emerged after the second torpedo was fired was seen plainly by Americans on the Marina, but did not communicate with the steamship or offer assistance to the small boats, which were in deadly peril from the rough sea.
 One life-boat was in the water IT hours, a second 21 hours and a third 31 hours. In this time the danger in creased, as the sea became rougher.
 The submarine did not shell the Marina.
