The sinking of the battleship Formidable by a German submarine was described in detail for the first time by survivors of the disaster.

The whole scene whs lighted by rocicets wnicn Biruaivuu u.c focKV dawn, while on deck and in the rigging flares burned as signals oi umtress. Captain Sinks With Ship. Suddenly the great ship, which had , . been listing heavily, heeled over to starboard, then straightened and plunger bow first. The signal lights flared up like , something uncanny, throwing out in bold relief the figures of Cai.t. Arthur N. Loxley and his signal boy, standing at salute, alone on the bridge. As with a final quiver the Formidable dived beneath tho surface, a mighty last shriek of the ship's whistles split the air like tho death cry of a wounded animal, and the waters rushed in upon her. Twenty Die in Small Boat. For the survivors the sinking of tho ship was but tho beginning of their battle for life. A dramatic story of a 20-hour struggle in tho gale was told by members of the crew of GO in a cutter from tho Formidable which was beached at Lymeregis at midnight. Of the cutter crew of 60 which start ed from the side of the Formidable 20 died of exhaustion and exposure before the boat was beached, and their bodies wero tossed overboard after being stripped of clothing. On landing i,ne more wero found to be dead of exhaustion. All wero nairnaked. Six Hundred Are Lost. The e ptain and 57S of tho officers and crow wore lost. In tho 15 minutes which elapsed beforo tho Formidable took her last plungo tho crew battled with tno wavos in what seemed an almost hopeices iasK io inuucu uio uuui.

Gotting tho cutter clear, tho men jumpod Into tho water and swam to tho boats. Ono ship stood by, but could not assist because of tho boisterous weather. The captain told Iiis men to hang on. but wo lost sight f them in tho darkness. Wo drifted about for an hour and a half with a scarf tied to an oar, and finally attracted tho attention of a trawler," 201 of Crew Were Saved. Another survivor said ono of tho boats slipped tho davits and fell perpendicularly, precipitating tho crew Into tho sea. She filled with water and sank almost immediately. Tho admiralty Issued a supplementary list of survivors, bringing tho number of thoso saved up to 201 out of a crow of 7S0 An unconfirmed report was circulated in Paris that tho llritish battleship Formidable was sunk off Portsmouth, the chief naval station of England.
