SUBMARINE’S ESCAPE
COLLISION WITH DESTROYER
(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.)
LONDON, March 22
Submarine R 4 had a narrow escape during exercises in the Channel. She was struck while submerged by the destroyer Thruster, her periscope being carried away and some bridge work damaged. The submarine was coming to the surface after a forty foot dive, and came up right under the destroyer. If it had been a foot or two nearer the surface she would probably have sunk. Nobody was injured. She was assisted to return to Portsmouth. The naval authorities are reticent.
