 Except for the loss of life the sink ing of the Cambank was not in itself serious matter, but the presence of q German submarine near the route which the Atalntic liners take on their way to and from Liverpool and along which many steamers pass daily is bound to cause some up easiness
 lt is true that this was not the first t,.ne that a hostile submarine las been in these waters, but the last one to visit them gave the crews of the three ships which she sank an oppor- tunity to leave the vessels before sinking them.
