GREAT MYSTERY CT OCEAN
Was a Strengthening Vessel Com
voying a Submarine for
the Allies?

From Algiers comes the story of
mysterious ship, which entered the
port a few days ago, the London Tele-
graph states. 1t was a fine two-fun-
neled vessel with engines so power
rul as to be out of character with it's
appearance, which was that of pri-
yate yacht. It entered the port I'M
der the preteXt of coaling, but did not
take in coal. To the port authorities
the captain stated that he was car
rying a cargo of salvage to CONSTANT
nople. Requested by the customs au-
thorities to open the cases in the
hold, he refused, and the vessel left
the harbor hurriedly without a pilot.
The following night an English
steamer passed the same ship at
some distanct from Algiers. All it's
lights were out and it was in the com
pany of smaller vessel. Next morn
ing a coaster, returning to Algiers
came upon a large number of floating
benZine tins.
It is suggested that the mysterious
ship was acting as an escort to sub
marine ordered by one of the lately
belligerent powers. and that it had
entered the port of Algiers to supply
itself for the submarine, which had
remained outside the port This
theory fits in with the report of the
English steamer and the story of the
floating tins told by the captain of the
Algerian coaster. It is remarked that
the mysterious submarine must have
been crossing the line between Mar
settles and Bona at the time when the
French mail steamer Marie Augustin
sank after a collision, the circum-
stances of which are still inexplica'
