Portsmouth, Eng., March 19. Brit
ish submarlno boat No. "A-l" was run
down and sunk of tho Nab
lightship yostorday by a Donald Cur
ry llnor, and 11 persons were
drowned, Including Lloutennnt Man
sergh, tho senior ofllcor ongaged In
the submarlno work. The llnor
passed on nnu roportod that sho had
struck a torpedo.
At tho tlmo sho wns struck, tho sub
marlno boat was off the light ship
ongagod In tho manouvers, and was
lying -In sovon fathoms of wator, wait
ing the approach of a battloshlp. Tho
boat was one of tho newest of the
fleet of submarlno voseels, and was
built from the lutost modols, but she
always a poor dlvor. SIiq was in
spected recently by both King Kd
ward and tho Prince of Wales.
The namo of tho llnor which struck
the submarlno boat is tho Berwick
Castle, from East London, South Af
rica. The loss of tho boat was not
known for sevoral hours after the
liner had reported to tho maneuvering
fleet that she hod struck a torpedo
The officers of the liner say that they
saw a glistening torpedo-like shape In
the water, and It is supposed, there
fore, that the submarlno boat rose
Just boforo she was struck. Thoro Is
no doubt that all tho members of the
crow died in the steel tube, It Is
thought ihat tho Berwick Castle, In
striking, upset the trim of the boat
and spilled tho gasoline In thd tanks,
rendering her helpless. The crew was
battened down, and must have met
death from suffocation in the absence
of air, and owing to the fumes.
