The vessels belonged to the Ports. mouth Division of the home fleet and wereengaged in night manoeuvres in the channel while on their way to Portland. ' 'l‘he night was dark and the Ber- wick was steaming slowly. When the destroyer attempted to cross her bow she was caught amidsbip and cut in hall with knifelike precision, sinking nlmost immediately. The deck crew who were dressed in heavy cllskins and boots, went down with the vessel, not having time to .._;l__ free themselves from their heavy in- cumbrances. Most oi ‘the twenty-two men saved _were engineers and stokers, who hav- themselyes afloat until the bo from the other ships picked them up. The collision occurred at' about ten o'clock last night when the ships were manoeuvring without lights. It is believed that several oi the men were killed by the impact. 'l‘ugs_werre dispatched to the scene oi the disaster at daylight and divers will make an attempt to recover the bodies ol the drowned men. _ The cruiser Berwick was in Elt. lJoiru Hurirour ou ootoiror zetir, mos as convoy to herisiater ship the Cornwall, which carried the flag of Prince Louis' of Battenburg, and visited Charlottetown earlier the same year. nissmsricn wmi Rrsuifrs prewar _Is Japan Preparing - -Interview With to Renew Struggle ?
