The. two flights which began at the same point thus ended almost in the same spot and for the same reason. ' NEW YORK, July 9. The Rome-bound monoplane Pathfinder, aided by tail winds and near-perfect flying conditioiirt otherwise, was approaching the European coast today, flying high and with speed Increased by a lightened fuel load.

EXTENSION SUBMARINE CREW HELD H DEPTHS British H-47 With 21 On Board Sinks in St. George Channel Struck by Larger U-Boat Two in Conning Tower Escape Great Depth Expected to Hinder Salvage. LONDON, July !. (A1) The Ilritish submarine 11-47, with 2L of her crew believed dead or trap ped within her. today was sunk in 270 feet of water in St. deorge'i channel off t he Pembroke coast to the west of Klthguard. The undersea craft was struck by the submarine L-l 2, a larger vessel, nnd sank so quickly that only two of her normal crew ot 23 were saved. These were Lieu tenant H. J. Gardner, her, com manding officer, and Sidney Cle burne of Devonport, telegraph ope rator, both ot whom presumably were In her conning tower. The L-12 lost one man,-Charles Kdward Hull, chief signaller, who is missing while Arthur Sampson, a seaman, was in a critical condi tion from injuries he suffered in tlie crash. 'm ' As soon as word of the disaster was received, the dock yard tugs Uesolvo and Orapplor hurriedly prepared to go to sea with salvage gear from, Portsmouth. Details of - the circumstances undr which the disaster' took place or how badly; tho submarine wan smashed whon she. went' down were lacking In tho first announce ments by tho admiralty.- ' ,'f It appeared, however, that tha 11-4 7 sank In about 270 feet of water, or nearly three times that in which tho American submarine H-4 sank In 11)1!7, and considerably deeper than that to which the H-51 sank, in Salvage operations at such a depth would be ejftieed ingly difficult. The worst post-war Ilritish sub marine disaster recorded , took place In 1935 when thfe H-l was sunk off Star Point with the loss of (iS lives. Other disasters Included the disappearance of the H-5 In 1921 off the Heilly Isles while at div ing practice, with the loss of 57 lives In lilL'L'the H-42 was ram med by a destroyer off kuropa Point, near Gibraltar, and 26 men were killed. In W the 1.-24 was sunk during mane uvers off Portland and 43 were killed. The admiralty statement said that the H-47 sunk after a col liHlon with the L-12 this morning about 22 miles to the northward of Small's lighthouse and about 20 mites due west from Fishguard.
