BREMEN HITS TANKER
COLLISION IN FOG EFFECTS LITTLE DAMAGE MISHAP OFF ENGLAND British Official Wireless Reed. 11.50 a.m. RUGBY, Friday. A collision which took place off Dungeness between the German giant liner Bremen, of 46,500 tons, and a small British tanker British Grenadier, of 7,000 tons, had fortunately no very serious results. It took place in a dense fog. The Bremen was undamaged. She sent a wireless message to the shore stating she had collided with a tanker, the name of which was unknown, which might need assistance. The tanker, however, wirelessed that two of her tanks were leaking, but she did not require assistance, and was proceeding to Deal to land a supernumerary, who required immediate medical attention. The Bremen, which was outward bound from Bremerhaven, is due at Southampton this evening, having been delayed by fog.
