IN COAST CITIES
LONDON, Oct. 16. Torpedoed by a
German submarine, British armored
cruiser Hawke was sunk In the North
sea on Thursday afternoon, the ad
miralty announced this afternoon.
Of the vessels crew, ordinarily 54 4,
it was stated that three officers and
4 9 men were saved.
The Hawke was struck amidship
and almost entirely torn to pieces.
The exact scene of the disaster waa
not made public. The Hawke was do
ing scout duty lately near Heligoland.
The cruiser was 360 feet long and of
7300 tons displacement.
ABERDEEN. Scotland, Oct. 16.
Among the members of tbe crew of
the cruiser Hawke who were landed
here today it was understood that
none of the higher officers were In
cluded. It was reported that many
were rescued in serious condition from
wounds and exposure.
Captain Huge Williams was said to
be missing and It was believed that
he perished. The three officers re
ported to have been saved were be
lieved to be the chief gunner, his as
sistant and the boatswain.
The Hawke. with the cruisers The
seus and Gibraltar were dong patrol
duty at the time of the disaster. From
the Theseus and the Gibraltar, the
German submarine was sighted as it
dived and the cruisers stood by wait
ing for its reappearance. Whether
the Hawke sighted It was unknown.
Two torpedoes were discharged,
the second at close range, and tho
Hawke was completely shattered.
The Theseus and the Gibraltar
steamed away and remained until
they were convinced there was no
more danger. Then the Theseus
steamed up to the wreckage and be
gan the rescue of survivors So much
time had elapsed, however, that the
majority of them had sunk.
LONDON. Oct. 1. Pritish ord
nance experts expressed themselves
today as convinced that the Germans
depended on their big new Krupp
guns, mounted at Ostend and else
where along the coast, to keep Ens
land's fleet too far off shore to be
effective against the defender of
such Pelclan and French points us
the kaiser might occupy.
Refugees from cities w hich the Ger
mans already have bombarded said
that the Pritish should not be over
confident of their ability to annihil.ito
the Teutons In the coast towns. They
declared that the biggest of the kais
er's artillery was far tnore powerful,
and yet easier to handle, than tho
monstrous weapons with which tho
Liege. Namur an.l Antwerp fortifica
tions were reduced. It was reported
that tests of these new guns so f ir
surpassed the Germans' hopes that
they had decided lmmediutelv to oc
cupy all of Peligum. an etiterpn
they hadn't previously expected tn
undertake.
