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." 3 placEs of FARm 1 U1UU8s 6sN31, 435 10 84.$19st000$na pFtonte, $ra 20 to $4.55; first clears, $3.20 to 83.50; sec. ond, clears, $2.40 to $2.70.
