It is worthy of note that part of the crews of the Undine und Starfish, which are understood to have been lost in the Heligoland B'ght, have been rescued, according to a German | wireless report.

Towed By Minesweeper LONDON. May 6 (Reuter)The Berlin news agency gives alleged de- tails of the capture of a British sub- Imarine in the Kattegat.

It says that the submarine was drifting dangerously in the middle of a mined area when German putrol vessels approached,

A German Officer took command. The submarine was towed from the danger zone with the assistance of minesweepers.

The British said that they had struck a milne and the submarine had become incapable, of diving and, owing to engine trouble, they

were also unable to continue their voyage on the surface.

-

"The crew were glad to be rescued, particularly as the ship had been lying at the bottom of the sea some lime after the explosion," says the Drency.

The submarine has been taken to
