The British submarine L-24, rammed by the dreadnaught Resolution yesterday, is lying 30 fathoms deep about 1 1 miles south of Portland Hill, accord ing to the latest reports from Wey mouth. There Is nothing to indi cate that her crew or 43 men have not perished. All the men were below when the boat left Portland for the maneuvers in which she was to take part, as the weather was heavy. Until further Investigation has been made it Is impossible to tell how the disaster happened. How ever, the latest report says the L-24 rose beneath the dreadnaught and struck the latter's bow,. Last night was unusually dark and despite numerous search lights little could be done until daylUhf, but the salvage craft kept busy while special boats equipped with hydrophones tried vainly to catch any sound that might be made by the Imprisoned men." Hope of the crew's safety has not been entirely abandoned, yet moat ex perts think it will be miraculous it the men are rescued. It Is reported, but not confirmed, that the submarine K-12. badly dam aged ln a collision with the K-2 near the scene of the L-24 disaster, has sunk in shallow water.
