BERLIN, Sept. 23 (by wireless telegraphy to Sayville, 1. L).—Ke- | ports recelved by the German Admiralty show that the destruction yer- terday of three British craisers in the North Sea. was accomplished by the German submariue U9, singlehanded. i (The German submarine U9 was built in, 1910 at Danzig. She is of 300 tons and her armament consists of three eighteen-inch torpedo tubes and two one-pounder guns. Her speed submerged ts elght knots, while on the surface she trayels at the rate of thirteen knots an hour.) LONDON, Sept. 23 [Associated Press].—The Grimsby trawler Kilmar- nock was sunk by a mine in the North Sea yesterday. Only three mem- bers of her crew were saved, The trawler was blown in two and weut down instantly. The correspondent of the Dally Telegraph at Rotterdam sends this story of the sinking of the armored British cruisers Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue by German submarines “Capt. Berkhout of the steamer Titan, who saved more than 100 of the | British sailors, witnessed the fight between the cruisers and the sub-/| marines. Some of the rescued sailors claim that two of three of the attack- fog submarines were sunk. As will be seen, only one submarine was seen sailing off. apt. Berkhout told me the following story: “The fight took place about 7 o'clock this morning, saw a German submarine tearing away at great speed. “«Far away on the horizon 1 saw three cruisers, the Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue, and after a while I noticed that one of them had gone, 1 did not pay particular attention at the time, but when I next turned to look for them I noticed another had disappeared. There some smoke and 1 heard a slight explosion. “*at once I dashed in thetr direction and on arriving in the vicinity 1 lowered away two boats to rescue a large number of men whom I saw swimming about. Altogether I picked up 111 men and three officers, All re naked, for they had thrown off their clothes in the water. One of the officers was Commander W. S. Sells of Portsmouth, His wrist watch had stopped at five minutes past 7 and it was at 10 o'clock that I picked him up. All were exhausted. soon as the commander was brought on board he dropped down embausted. He was given wine and in about ten minutes he came around, Then he smiled and said tt was a long swim “While I was on my way che remaining cruiser rolled over and sank. When arrived 1 was pleased to find that two Lowestoft cutters had reached the spot before me, They were pulling naked men out of the water. One boat was absolutely full of men and other men were struggling all around, but they were merely exhausted and almost numb from the cold. Many were clinging to wreckage, one group clustering around a floating table, BOY MIDSHIPMAN WANTED TO GO BACK TO ENGLAND, “‘Commander Sells told me of the trying experience of a brave little midshipman. It appears that the midshipman was on board the first veaset which was struck, and as she was settling down he jumpod overboard and swam clear of the tremendous vortex which the disappearance of the ship had created. He was picked up by another of the cruisers, but soon she also was struck by the submarine’s torpedo and in her turn began to settle down, Though he had again to jump into the water he was uninjured by the explosion and cleared the downward suction, A third cruiser rescuod him, but he had not been long on board her before she also received her death wound, Again he got clear and clung to a plece of wreckage, from which he was rescued. “This midshipman was pleased when we, of the Titan, rescued him, al ve asked if he would come with us. Hoe preferred to go back to Eng- laud, however, and accordingly we put him on board a destroyer, and hope he is sate at home now, The destroyer also took most of the men I picked up. “The Flora picked up over 200 and the Lowestoft’s boats rescued others | before I came up. One destroyer came up too late to rescue any, but she took away some of the men to England, Those engaged In the work of rescue bad to row among floating naked bodies.” HARW.CH, England, Sept. 23.—Survivors to the number of 110 from the British crulaers Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue, which were torpedoed | and sunk by German submarines, have arrived at Harwich and Parkeston, Of the survivors thirty were officers and other seamen, Members of the crew of the Aboukir declare the Gerimans fired seven AContinued on Page 2) at which time I haope }and the Giants losing The Freee Publishing York!
