By the Associated Press. PARIS, October submarine Ondine, with 43 men aboard, lay irretrievably lost many fathoms deep 30 miles off the shore of Portugal today while a considerable mystery revailed as to the manner of her sink- ing by the Greek steamer Aikaterini M. Goulandris. A statement issued by the ministry of marine represented the captain of the Greek vessel as having searched only two hours for survivors after the col- lision. A dispatch from Rotterdam to Le Journal quoted the captain as having said he searched long and care- fully and reported the disaster by wire- less to all ships in the vicinity. Story of Sinking. Le Journal’s correspondent quoted the captain as relating that his ship was near the Portuguese coast at 11 pm. Wednesday and all the crew except the watch was asleep. The watch gave no warning, it is declared, but suddenly the occupants of the ship felt a violent shock. ~ All rushed to the side. The captain climbed to the bridge. Both he and the crew then saw clearly ahead of the ship a submarine whose na- tionality they were unable to distin- guish in the darkness, it is related. The captain was quoted as saying he and the crew realized tht the steam- er's stem had struck the stern of the submarine. After a few minutes the submarine disappeared beneath the waves. The captain then examined the bow of his vessel to find out the ex- tent of damage she had suffered. He made urgent repairs and at the same time searched for the submarine. The submarine did not reappear, and the captain immediately warned all ships in the vicinity by wireless and reported that his sl ad been in collision with & submarine. He said he searched all the morning of the next day and not until 1 o'clock ‘Thursday afternoon did he resume his course to Holland, being convinced that further search was futile. Consul Reports Disaster. The French consul at Rotterdam, who sent the first word of the disaster to Paris, sald that the captain had cruised only 'two hours over the spot before continuing his course. Naval men said that they saw no ehance of salvaging the submarine nor recovering the bodies since not only was her exact position unknown but | also the operation was impossible so far out to sea and in such great depths. | The cruiser Edgar Quinet, a French training ship for midshipmen, received orders to leave Brest to proceed to near Vigo on the Portuguese coast and there render last honors for the 43 men , Thompson, aboard, ‘Winebrenner Addresses K. of C.
