CHAMBANK IN THE IRISH SEA FOUR OF CREW WERE KILLED Battles on the Continent Continue With Ever Increasing In? tensity (By Auodatad Frat*.) LONDON, Feb. 20.- (10:10 p. m.) A Gorman submarine appeared In the I I-isli Sea early today and torpedpod "without notice . the British coasting ' steamer Cam bank, ot 440 tons regis ter. TJ'ree ot the crew were killed . and a fourth was drowned while the i men vfare taking tq the boats. The ? remainder of the crew and pilot, 20 ' In al), were saved. ) One of the men in describing the.: experience of the Cambank. said: "We were bound from Huelva. Spain, j for Liverpool with ti cargo of copper, j When outside of Amlwych, on the ; north coast of Wale?, we took aboard a pilot. We had gathered speed j wbeu a periscope was observed about J 2C0 yards away.

"We launched the life-boats ami managed to pull clear before the-Cam-l bank sank.

It ramo about thc time that tho Anglo-French fleet war. bombarding tho Dardanelles forts and while the Russians, according to ?. telegram from Petrograd, were defeating the Germnng nt Ossowotz, Toland, and driving back totthe fron tier rija troops which h?jL attacked tue fortress. Hxcopt for the loss af Ute. the sink ing of tho Cambank was not in itself a serious mutter, but the presence of u Gorman submarine near the route which the Atlantic liners take to and from Liverpool and aloug which many steamers pass daily, is certain to cause uneasiness. While this not not tue first limo that a hostile submarine ' has been in those waters, the last one to visit them gave the crews ot'three ships which sank ap opportunity to leave thc vossels before sinking them. Tito Cambank apparently had slow ed down to .pick up her. Liverpool pilot when shs was observed hy the submarine and torpedoed. While the sinking of this steamer, can, however, raise no diplomatic problems, a sor* loua 'situation may arise opt of the torpedoing of the Norwegian tank Bteamer Belridge; which, according to the British admiralty, was struck by o torpedo off Folkestone.
