TORPEDO AND SHELL FIRE.
GERMAN COMMANDER APOLOGISES. FATE OF THE CARIA AND CLAN MACALISTER. N ■ ' . • : (Received November 22, 10.5 a.m.) . LONDON, November 21. A member of the crew of the Cunard steamer Caria, which was reported sunk on November 10, states that-a German submarine, manned by Austrians, twice torpedoed the Clan Maca,lister, after the crew took to the boats, and then shelled and sank the Caria, after ordering the crew, who were already in the boats, out of the line of fire. The commander, before leaving, apologised, saying: "l am only obeying orders." The submarine seemed to be almost entirely of aluminium, and looked like a silver strip in the sun's rays.
