The captain of the Clan Macfarlane said tlie vessel was torpedoed on the port side, and the second torpedo was fired when the crew was about to enter the boats.

Copenhagen, January 21. The Aften Postern’s London correspondent gives another version of the Baralong. He says that the German submarine attacked an English ship, whereupon American muleteers on the latter took refuge in the ' lifeboats. When The Baralong sank the submarine, the latter’s crew sheltered on the merchantman. The muleteers then returned to the ship and wreaked their fury on the* submarine’s crew. The correspondent adds: “It must not be.forgotten that the evidence published in Germany was taken in America from witnesses who each received a fee, and who were not crossexantined. An inquiry would disclose the above facts.”
