Run Down By Liner--OfCrew of Fifteen Only
Was Picked Up.
A despatch, from Dover, Eng-
land, says : The British submarine
"B2" was run down by the Ham-
burg -American steamer Amerika
here on Friday; It sank at once,
drowning fourteen of the crew. The
officer in charge was rescued. The
disaster in which the "B2" was
sunk occurred °while the third pa-
trol flotilla of submarines, consist-
ing of six vessels, was manoeuvring
ofi the south foreland on the coast
of Kent, The liner Amerika ap-
pears to have cut the submarine
completely in halves. Lieut. Rich-
ard L Pulleyne, who was second
in command, was the only man
among the crew of fifteen who was
saved. He was found floating in
the sea too exhausted to say more
when he was rescued than "Tile
submarine is cut in two. I went
down e, mile." The young lieut
enant collapsed after he was taken
from the water and conveyed to the
parent ship. The liner Amerika,
stood by after the collision and
threw life buoys overboard, while
a number of torpedo boats, after
being informed of the accident by.
wireless telegraphy, searched the
sea for hours. None of the other
members of the crew, however,
were found, and no sign of wreck-
age was discernable in the vicin-
ity. The Amerika then proceeded
on her voyage to Southampton and
Cherbourg on her way to New
York,
This is the sixth disaster to Brit-
ish submarines, each of them in-
volving the loss of from eleven to
fifteen lives. Lieut. Percy B.
O'Brien was the commander of the
"B2."
