that a British transport with two
thousand Canadian troops on board was

No hint has come from British
sources of the foregoing report. While
it is possible that, had such an event
occurred, the British censors might
have withheld the news, this is improb-
able, since official announcement was
made promptly of the torpedoing of
the British transport Royal Edward in
the Egean Sea, with the loss of about
one thousand men. The Royal Edward
was sunk on August IA, and it is pos
sible that the report brought in by the
Ryndam's passengers is a gsrbled YER
sion of this incident.
The Ryndam arrived at Rotterdam on
August %, and has since sailed on her
return voyage for New York. The trip
from Rotterdam to Amsterdam re-
quires only few hours, so that it is
probable the Ryndam's passengers Who
proceeded to Amsterdam reached there
on August % or %, nearly week be-
fore the date of the Berlin dispatch.

The brontosauryis belonged to the
DinosaUr family. This was one Of the
very earliest families on earth, but it
behaved much better about it than some
Of our later families do and never got

large substantial hind legs upon which
