T Imprisoned or Dead

London. July tP-The British submarine H4I. with q of her crew believed dead or trapped with in her, today was sunk in 27o feet of water in St. Georges channel of the Pembroke coast to the west of Fishguard.
 The undersea craft was struck by the submarine L-11, a larger vessel. and sank so quickly that only two of her normal crew of g were saved. These were Lieutenant R. J. Gard ner. her commanding officer. and Sidney Clerburne of Davenport, tele- graph operator, both of whom pre- sumably were in the coming tower.
 Loses One Man Also
 The L-12 lost one man, Charles Edward Bull. chief signaller, who is missing. while Arthur Sampson, seaman, was in critical condition from injuries he suffered in the crash.
 As soon as word of the disaster Was received the dock yard tugs Re- solve and Grappler hurriedly pre- pared to go to sea with salvage gear from Portsmouth.
 Details of the circumstances un- der which the disaster took place. or how badly the submarine was smashed when she went down, were lacking in the first announcements by the admiralty.

 The admiralty statement said the H-47 sank after a collision with the I-12 this morning about 22 miles to the northward of Small's lighthouse and about 20 miles due west from Fishguard.
