Denies It Was Sussex.

"Fifth-The French steamer Sussex.
Ascertainment of the fact whether the
channel steamer Sussex was damaged
by a German submarine was rendered
extremely difficult because no exact
details of time, place and attendant
circumstances of the sinking were
known and also because it was impos-
sible to obtain picture OF the ship
before April 6. Consequently the in
yestigation had to be extended to all
actions undertaken on the day in ques-
tiou-March 24-in the channel in the
general region between Folkestone and
Dieppe.
"In this region on March "a a long
black craft, without flag, having
gray funnel, small gray forward works
and two high masts. was encountered
about the middle of the English chan
mel by a German submarine. The Ger
man commander reached the definite
conclusion that it was war vessel,
and indeed. a mine layer Of the re-
Gently built English Arabic class.

between Dungeness and Beachy Head.

unvarying observations of German sub
marines, is about the course of COM

of the channel, on a course about in

Attacked While Submerged.

Consequently he attacked the vessel
at 1855 in the afternoon. middle Euro
pean time, one and one-half sea miles
east of Bull Rock (Bullock?) bank, the
submarine being submerged. The tor
pedo struck and caused such a violent
explosion in the forward part of the
ship that the entire forward part was
torn away to the bridge.
This particularly violent explosion
warrants the certain conclusion that
great amounts of munitions were
aboard.
