CAUGHT NAPPING
TWO OF THE ENEMY'S BOATS DESTROYED. LONDON, 14th November. It is stated in naval wireless circles at Dover that two German submarines, which were recently carrying out a daring reconnaisance in the Channel, have been destroyed. The first one saved its power by remaining on the sea-bed for a lengthy period. Bubbles were noticed one calm day at the end of October, and dragging vessels were hurriedly collected and dragged the sea with powerful chains, to which the explosives were attached. A heavy explosion resulted, followed by the rise of a large quantity of oil. The second submarine, which had been troublesome to the warships operating around Nieuport, was trapped into rising under the belief that the stretch of sea was deserted. Then the warships returned and shelled and sank her.
