w Ew YORK, October ls-- Daring
M the German submarines, which
may be y ing in wait for them
outside the three mile limit, several
British steamers sailed from this port
last night, including the Y giant liner
Adriatic, the 9000-ton Minnehaha and
the big freighter Pannonia. All
clipped away without lights.
The Adriatic carried q list Of three
hundred and fftyathree passengers, in.
cIuded amongst whom ara six Amer
icans. The liner also carries a hugs
quantity of mutations, her whole cargo
Of eighteen thousand tons being made
up al war supnlies For the sAiliei
sitnped Down Patrolled Lane
Her departure from port was pre-
eeded by that Of the Pannonia and the
Minnehaha. It is thought probable
that none Of these vessels will take The
ordinary course and that all three are
proceeding south within the patrolled
three.mile limit, expecting to turn east
when water regarded as safe -
reached. IAE E M sN
The Danish liner Hsllig olav, with
three hundred and fifty passengers sail
ed early in the evening, taking an
easternly course after she crossed ths
bar. .''. "t
A Dove Of Peace
No information has been received,
so far as is known, concerning the
whereabouts of the German U-53, al
though q white dove, bearing copper
metal leg band, inscribed U-53, was
caught in Edgewater, New Jersey, and
turned over to the police. Whether this
bird was actually liberated from aboard
the submarine or was set free by come
one who desired TO create the impress
sion that the underwater craft was still
close of the American coast eannot, Of
course, be learned.
None Of the British Or French patrol
cruisers has been sighted by any OF the
coasting vessels along the Atlantic
shore. +#
There are still four or hve British
and French steamers In port waiting in
structions TO sail, their scheduled sail
ings being abandoned after the appear
"rcc OF the German raider .t
Kingstonian Is Safe s..
1t is now definitely established that
the reported sinking Of the British
steamer Kingstonian on Sunday was
an error. If any such steamer went
down before German torpedo IL was
neither the Kingston nor the Kingstopi-
an. The Leyland Line agents here were
in communication yesterday with the
Kingstonian captain, who reported his
ship safe in port. The name Of this
port is not given out, but II is known
that the Kingstonian was not within q
thousand miles of the raided waters on
Sunday. This brings the known toll OF
the U.-53 down to fve ships. %r'
Americans To Patrol y.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels hai
completed a definite plan for the es
tablishment of naval patrol along
the Atlantic Coast, IL the German sub
marine campaign against commerce con
tinues. uT .,-E@ eA
The menace TO neutrality Of the sub
marines operating on the coast and the
necessity for seeing that they do moi
, work inside the three. mile limit are the
moving cause for Daniels plan. Under
this the entire destroyer force of the
, navy and the available light cruisers
assisting, will form the backbone loi
the patrol feet, with auxiharies also
employed. A{f,
