Probably Sunk
Boston, Feb. 22.-The German tank
steamer Diamant. Captain wischausen.
and crew Of IS men. was probably lost.
with all hands. $50 miles southeast of
Halifax. Feb. II. or else she has been
drifting at the mercy OF the warning ele-
ments ever since.
Such is the opinion of Captain Forth OF
the Furness line steamer Calico. which
has reached this port from London
Captain Forth attempted to tow the
Diamant and to save her crew, but the
hawser parted and the tank steamer dis
appeared from view so quickly that II Is
believed she went down.
The Calico was 10 days overdue, and
had been reported by the Dutch steam
er Veerdam as having the Diamant in
tow. Captain Forth says he sighted the
tank steamer on Feb. 10. showing dis
tress signals. having lost her propeller.
The Diamant sent a boat alongside with
the request for a tow to the nearest
port The Galileo put out hawser and
the towing began. the course being laid
for Halifax. On the llth, q heavy gale
came on. during which the wire hawser
parted. The Diamant signalled: do not
lose sight OF u.s." and Captain Forth
manoeuvred the Calico so that another
hawser could be gotten out. The SEQ
was very rough, but, by means of life
buoys, line was fioated across the Dia-
mants bows and a second hawser pulled
In.
The tow was resumed, and slowly the
boats made toward Halifax, with head
winds and boisterous seas. On the 18th
another gale came up. during which the
hawser parted, leaving the Diamant
rolling fearfully In the trough of the sea.
Then she was lost to view, and, two
hours later, after the gale suhsided. no
sign OF her remained. The Calico had
towed the Diamant GOO miles. Captain
Forth cruised around nearly a day. but
saw no trace of the steamer. and so re-
sumed his course. While he believes the
Diamant has foundered, Captain Forth
thinks that the empty tanks may have
kept her affoat and she is somewhere in
the track Of European steamers.
