GUNBOAT CASTINO BEACHED

Vessel Was Rammed by Submarine Bonita and Damaged. With her compartments filling with water the gunboat Castine, tender to the third submarine division of the United States navy, was beached at North Truro after being rammed by the submarine Bonita in the harbor outside Provincetown. Mass. As the nose of the Castine slid into the soft sand at Truro, every one of her crew of eighty officers and men were ready to put off in life boats. Nobody on either the Bonita or Castine was injured and but one member of the crew of the gunboat had come ashore, and for that reason it was difficult to secure information regard ing the accident.
