A Sudden Tilt,

The submarine, which belonged to the 3rd Flotilla, was moored in No. 9 basin, her port side being against the wall..

She had just returned from exercise in the basin and all her batches were 'open, A number of men were seen to rush up the gangway from the ship just alter 2 o'clock when suddenly she tilted at an acute angle. She turned over and the water rushing in through the open hatches the ship sank at once.

I was standing about 50 yards away," said a dockyard official to a Daily" Mail reporter, when H.29 nuddenly heef ed over to starboard, lay right over on her beam ends, and sank within two minutes.

I saw a gumber of meu swimming in the water and boats, went out and brought them ashore."

A sub-lieutenant was in an unconscious condition when he was rescued and arti- ficial respiration had to be used for 45 minutes before be recovered suficiently to be taken to hospital.

The last man, a sailor, to leave the vessel was seen, struggling through the conaing tower. Five of his comrades

who had got ashore jumped back into the sen to help him.

Within a few minutes of the mishap officials of the port were prescat. The Commander-in-Chief Sir Richard Philli more, at once took control of the rescue and salvage operations.

Orders were given for the basin to be emptied.

A workman who was aboard the sub- mariac, stated that he was told by a naval officer to get out of the ship and tell his comrades to do so as the vessel was sinking.

Workmen Assist in the Rescues. The mishap occurred soon after the re- sumption of work after dianez.

Dockyard employees had just started their usual tasks when an alarm was raised that H.29 was sinking.

Large crowds of workmen immediately ran to the quayside of No. 9 Basin and tried to rescue some of their comrades.cas Electrics.......... Two or three of the dockyard workmen on board released themselves from the submarine and dived overboard. Within A few minutes these men were got ashore and removed to à surgery.

Something Wrong."

Another dockyardman said: " "We had been out on trials and were alongside the wharf commencing to fill. Suddenly an officer walked quietly to- wards us and in a matter-of-fact jone announced that there war * something wrong.'

He told as not to panic but to get out as quickly and as calmly as possible.

Most of us then walked over the gangway on to the wharf, but a number of men

were thrown. into the basin through the submarine tilting. They had been unable to get ashore.

A workman who was in the "forward part of the ship said an officer came to them and said, "For God's sake clear off the boat at once. There is something wrong aft, but we do not know what it is." The men ran off the ship along the gangway. When five of the sailors get ashore," he added, "they found that one of their comrades had been ejected from the conning tower by the iarush of water into the ship.

He was in danger of drowning, but the five sailors dived together into the water and rescued him."
