Sailors on Merchantmen Sunk BY Ger
mans in North Sea Slaughtered.
London, Oct. 29.-The British de-
stroyer Mary Rose fought single hand
ed against the German cruiser In the
convoy section in the North sea, ac-
cording to a story ascribed to a Brit
ish officer rescued off Bergen and
transmitted by the Christiania corre-
spondent, Of the Times. The other de-
stroyer. which should have been pres
ent. never appeared, and it Is thought
likely that it was destroyed at the be-
ginning Of the action.
After fighting heroically for half an
hour, during which time she was sub
jected to the most terrific concentrated
fire, the Mary Rose sank. The mem
bers of the crew were found clinging
to buoys and rescued.
The correspondent says that the re-
ports Of the butchery Of the crews Of
the merchantmen pass description. Two
women on one side waved a piece Of
white cloth which was perfectly Wis

from the German cruisers. Life boats

Divergent, Views of Sea; Incident.
The newspapers take two divergent
lines Of criticism regarding the attack
on the merchantmen in the North sea.
According to one view the incident was
one that no foresight or vigilance
could avert and altho regrettable can
not exercise any decisive effect.
On the other hand some newspapers
ask what has become of the vaunted
British command Of the North sea. One
newspaper comments as follows:
1.-THE occurrence Is extremely dis
quieting. With the whole American
navy working in conjunction with ours.
and our patrol relieved Of the task OF
searching vessels coming from America
we ought to have an ample margin OF
security against such mischances."
