Received Jan. 24, 9.45 p.m. London, Jan. 24. Rear-Admiral Hall, who commanded submarines ’during the war, expresses the opinion that submarine K 5 was lost owing to rapid diving in deep water. Probably there was delay in checking the 'downward momentum, and the submarine thus became crushed, and was unable to use her signalling plant. Adimiral Hall adds that the K submarines are delicate vessels; they are really freak boats. There were distressing scenes at Portsmouth, and tearful processions of widows and sweethearts to the dockyard gates, many refusing to accept the announcement that all grades were lost. —Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn. London, Jan. 23. Official.—Ks carried six officers and 51 men The vessel was lost 120 miles south-west of the Seillies. Wreckage found undoubtedly came from her.
