The Loss of a Submarine We deeply regret to record

the loss of the British submarine ' II47,' which was sunk on Tuesday morning off the Pembrokeshire coast by a collision on the surface with submarine ' L12.' Twenty-four lives were lost.

II47 ' lies in more than fifty fathoms of water, and though diving operations have been extraordinarily improved in recent years, work at that depth is extremely difficult.
