BUT TWO OF CREW SURVIVE Berlin, Nov. 4.—(By Wireless to Sayville.)—The German admiralty has furnished to the Associated Press correspondent the details of what is characterized as a second Baralong case, in which a British patrol ship flying American colors, it is declared, after destroying submarine U-41, de- liberately ran down a rowboat with the only two survivors of the under- sea boat in an endeavor to remove the only witnesses, and has since pre- vented the intended victims, who were almost miraculously saved, from communicating the news to their own government. . The incident, according to the ad- miralty, occurred on September 24, 1915, and has only just been learned of through an invalided prisoner transferred to Switzerland. The sub- marine, according to the admiralty account, had halted in the neighbor- hood of the Scilly Isles for examina- tion of a steamer under the American flag, apparently an innocent merchant- man, pared to lower a boat, but when the submarine had approached to within 300({2\"!5 the supposed merchantman suddenly opened concealed ports and began firing from two cannon and also with rifles, the American flag flying the whole time, the account continues. The submarine irreparably dam- aged, went under, but was able to come to the surface later for an in- stant, and Lieutenant Crompton, se- verely wounded, and Petty Officer Godau managing to crawl out through an open hatch before the submarine sank forever, The sole survivors ultimately man- aged to swim to an empty boat, The steamer observing this, according to the admiralty details, headed full speed for the boat, not to save, but to ram it, placing a lookout in the steamer's bow to facilitate accurate|. steering. The Germans at the last moment sprang from the boat and clung to the wreckage of it for a half hour, when the steamer finally picked them up.
