Dover. The British; submarine B 2
was run down by 'the Hamburg-American
liner Amerlka here. . ', It sank,
drowning fifteen of the crew. The
liner Amerlka appears to have cut
the submarine completely in halves.
Lieut. Richard I. PiiUeyene was the
only, man among the crew who was
saved. He was found floating- in the
sea. too exhausted to say more when
be was rescued than ''The subsmarine.
is cut in two. I went down a mile."
The fl Jihad lett 'Dover harbor to
participate, with the other submarines
fn a, series of maneuvers. When the
accident occurred none of the sister
submarines . knew anything about it
until Lieutenant Pulleyne was picked
up from the sea. , " " "
The liner Amerlka' stood by' after
the collision and threw life buoys
overboard while a number of torpedo
boats searched the .sea for hours.
None of the other njembers of the
crew, however,-was found.
' The Amerlka then 'proceeded on
her voyage', to Southampton" on ' her
way to New. York.,
, This Is the sixth disaster to British
submarines, each of 'them :, Involving
the loss M from 11 to 15 lives.
The B 2 was one of the older' and
smaller disss of submarines, having
been built,, with fen sister ships, be
tween the "years 1903 and 1907. Her
length was, 100 feet and her beam 12
feet 7' .inches..- .,. .,,-'-',;; ,.
