Grins rumour SUNK Torpedoed the line my’s Craft Off th: River Ems Estuary A despatch from London says: The Admiralty on 1Wednesday night: issued an official announcement that the British submarine E9 has sucâ€" cessfully returned to her base after sinking a German destroyer off the mouth of the Ems River, between the Netherlands and East Fries- land, in the North Sea. The Sub- marine is under command of Licut. Commander Max K. Horton. It was this same submarine under the same commander which made a, simâ€" ilar dash and sank the German cruiser Hela. off Heligoland Sep- tember 13. As on the former coca- sion, the E9 has safely returned to her home port. The action took place at 1 o’clock and was witnessed by the Dutch coast guards on the Dutch Island Schiermonikoog, in the North Sea, off the province of Friesl-amd. The weather was clear and the sea calm, and the destroyer could plainâ€" ly be seen cruising before the mouth of the Ems. Suddenly the observers saw a high column of water rise near the bow of the destroyer. The vessel immediately turned over and sank in three minutes. Shortly af- ter the explosion the perisoope of the submarine came to the surface of the water for a. moment, but as soon as those on board the plunger saw that their torpedo had struck its mark the vessel was again subâ€" merged. A German cruiser and torpedo boats came quickly to the rescue of the crew of the illâ€"fated destroyer. who could be seen swimming about in the vicinity of the disaster or clinging to the wreckage of their sunken ship. As Schiermonikoog is close to the island of Borkum, where the Ger- mans have a naval base, and within sixty mili65 of He-ligoland and the naval arsenal of Wilhelmshaven, the dash of the submarine is con- sidered a. very daring one. The Dutch naval staff announces that the sinking of the destroyer ocâ€" curred seven miles of Schicrmoni- koog and well outside Dutch terri‘ torial waters. DID $2,000,000 DAMAGE. A d-espatch from San Francisco says: Two lives were lost, $2,000,- 000 damage was done, two vessels were sunk and two blocks of busi- ness houses and residences were de- stroywed by the German cruisers Soharnh-orsrt and Gncisenau, in their bombardment last month of the French colony of Papeete, Twhi< ti. Refugees from the island told the story on their arrival here on Wednesday. aboard» the Union Steamship Company’s liner Moana, from Australia, which touched at Tahiti. KW Attempt to Dcstr A despatch from Paris says: A Taube aeroplane appeared over Saint Denis, and when the noise of the motor was heard the people rushed out of their houses to the street. It flew above the railway station, where a bomb was dropped. apparently with the intention of ex- ploding on a. train loaded with re- servists which was just about to start. The bomb missed its mark and no one was injured, but there was some damage to property. The aeroplane continued its flight, and, 0y :1 Troop Train passing between the Aubervillier: and a Chapelle gates of Paris dropped a second bomb, which burst near the kennels where the police dogs are kept. The keeper of the kennels was wounded by a fragment, of the bomb. His wife and sevenyeanold child were also struck by small portions of the bomb. but were not seriously inâ€" jured. A French aeroplane apâ€" peared about this time, and the Taube ascended to a great height and sped away with the French machine in pursuit. because the 'w'llllvl' campaign ClIlll’lnt . .- spring n :th its pi'eviou;.
