ENEMY DISCOVERS BASE
Raid at Lough Swilly Result of In

Mother Ship Believed to
Have Been, Liner.
"WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. (Special.)
Almost a month after the British dread
nought Audacious was sunk mysterious
ly off the north Irish coast the authen
tic story of her destruction has be
come known that she was sunk by a
torpedo from a German submarine and
not by a mine, as formerly believed.
Despite all the mystery which the
British Admiralty sought to throw
around this disaster to one ofher new
est and greatest ships, the real facta
are available for publication.
The newB was received here from an
authoritative source In Berlin and the
details flt closely with the report that
came from eye-witnesses of the dis
aster from the steamship Olympic.
Warhl la Hit Twice.
The Audacious waa hit twice and the
second torpedo caused her magazines
to explode.
There has oeen much mystery about
the base of the British fleets and last
month the Germans through their
system of espionage, learned that the
British battleship fleet was making Its
base at Lough Swilly, a harbor on the
northwest coast of Ireland, where the
water is deep and there is fine protec
tion in all weathers.
When this Information was obtained
by the German authorities a small
squadron of submarines was sent out

British battleships and at the same
time to show how alert the Germans
-were In having discovered the British
base.
Coaat of Scotland Skirted.
Submarines convoyed by a mother
cralt left Wilhelmshaven, and, carefully
dodging mines, worked its way north
and then skirted the coast of Scotland,
and on October 26 had discovered the
base at Lough Swilly. Early in the
morning of October 27 it was blowing
a gale and a heavy sea was running.
In a measure this was favorable to
the submarines, because in a high
tumbling sea it would be difficult to
eee the small periscope when the sub
marine came to the surface to take
eight.
The scene when the tiny vessel of
destruction arrived was one to gladden
. the heart of any commander of such a
vessel. Spread out before him was a
big British fleet of battleships, all new.
Including the latest turned-out battle
cruisers, armored cruisers, scouts, tor
pedo-boat destroyers and many other
units that go to make up the fighting
machine in command of Admiral Jelll
coe.
Torpedo Fired at Close Range.
The submarine took one look and
then submerged. Again, a little later,
It came to the surface, and was then
only a short distance from the
Audacious and within striking distance.
The German naval authorities believe
' in a short range for their torpedoes
and an exceedingly high explosive. The
range of their torpedoes is about 600
yards and the Audacious was not more
than a quarter of a mile from the hid
den destruction.
How many torpedoes were fired from
the submarine is not known. One
caught the Audacious astern and, ex
ploding, probably damaged that ves
sel's propellers. It also disabled the
. after turbine, according to reports from
a vessel in the vicinity.
It is probable the men on the Auda
cious saw the torpedo before it struck.
Dreadnonftht Scatter Immediately,
Before she was struck the Audacious
' began to steer a zig-zag course, which
Is the accepted way. to try to avoid a
torpedo attack.
The submarine dove immediately. At
once there was consternation in the
fleet. The big vessels, acting on the
orders of the British Admiralty, scat
tered. each looking out for herself.
Destroyers and scout cruisers darted
hither and thither trying to find the
enemy. A wireless was sent to the
Olympic warning Captain Haddock of
the presence of the enemy's subma
rines and asking for help.
The Audacious for a time headed in
towards the harbor at Lough Swilly,
but before she had gone far she was
dead In the water and settling astern.
The Olympio came up and tried to tow
the disabled battleship, but the sUel
hawser parted.
When the German commander
thought the danger was over he care
fully came to the surface again and
took another sight to see what had
happened.
Second Torpedo Fired.
The Audacious waa helpless and not
far away. The commander of the sub
marine decided to take another shot
at the dreadnaught and it went straight
to the mark, caught the battleship
amidships and the force of the ex
plosion caused ammunition in a maga
zine to explode and the great vessel
was a wreck, slowly settling in the
deep.
This time the submarine cleared out
altogether and tried to make her way
home. Whether she reached her parent
ship, which is supposed to have been
the Berlin, formerly one of the trans
Atlantic passenger steamships, has not
yet been reported. The Berlin, bow
ever, has reached Troudhjem, a town on
the coast of Norway, and has been
interned there.
