seven American citizens in the sub.
marine attack on the British freighter
Rowanmore, reported from Queens,
town by American Consul Frost, con.
| tain possibilities of reviving the sub
marine issue between the United
States and Germany.
Investigation, officials realize, may
disclose that there have been no vio'
lation of German pledges to the
United States.
Nevertheless the first reports, in
complete and transmitted by the
| American consul as provisional, -
caused some uneasiness.
A dispatch from Newport News,
| Va, states there were forty-nlne
Americans on the Marina when she
sailed from that port The Americans
were signed here as horsemen. They
were all white and gave their homes
as in various sections of the United
States.
The State Department issued this
summary of Consul Frost's dispatch:
"The British horse transport, Mar
ina, with mixed crew of British and
Americans, was reported sunk with
out warning by German submarine
gunfire at 3 p. m., Oct. %, 100 miles
west of Cape Clear, in an official re-
port received at the State Department
from Consul Frost at Queenstown.
Thirty-four of the crew of 1O4 have
been landed at Crookhaven, while 70
others, presumably those in boats l
and 8, are missing. Consul Frost says
his information so far is simply pro
visional'"
Survivors of the British freighter
Rowanmore, sunk by a submarine
after nearly an hours chase, were
shelled after they had taken to their
boats, according to another official
dispatch from Consul Frost. No casu-
alties were reported.
Newport News, Va.-At the offices
of the United States Shipping Com
pany, local agents for the Donaldson
line, owners of the Marina, it was
stated Monday that the Marina was
not a transport in the service of the
British government.
"She is one of our regular steamers
plying between here and Glasgow" it
was said, "and was owned and operat-
ed as a merchantmen by the Donald
son line. She carried general cargo
and some horses for the British gov
ernment, but she had not been COM
mandeered and still retained her
character as a merchantmen"
