KEEN LONDON, May 5.—In a sud den raid upon an English fish- ing fleet in the North sea a German submarine with simile of an iron cross painted on its conning tower Is known to have sunk 11 trawlers, and it Is thought others may have been destroyed, This latest attack designed to further strike at the food supply of England, was made on Monday. ever Only today, how- did the crews from the els destroyed begin to ch port, after having been picked up by other vessels. All the men brought into port told thrilling stories of thetr struggies while adrift in mall boats. The fieet attacked by the eub- marine was busily engaged in fishing in the North sea when the periscope of the German undersea raider was suddenly sighted in its midst. Few of the trawlers were able to ape. The Collingwood reached Grimsby safely after having been chased for miles. Forty shots were fired at the Collingwood, but only one struck. Commanders of most of the trawlers realized the subma- rine could run their vessels down and probably sink them without giving the crews a chance to escape. They therefore lay to under orders from the submarine and waited their fate. The crews were given a short time to gather their belongings and take to the boats and the trawlers were then sunk, one by one. The crews from three of the fishing craft picked up by the trawler Leonard and landed at Hartlepool, said the submarine crew gave them a supply of black bread before leaving them adrift in their boats. Capt. Harry Foot, of the trawler Bob White, said he engaged in picking up the crew of one of the sunken trawlers when the submarine overhauled him, He-was given five minutes In which to leave his ship ‘and the trawler was then sent to the bottom with 18 sho! .
