Point had been sunk and that her
crew had taken, to the boats. The
natural thing to do was to get out
every available vessel to search for
the crew. AS it happened, it was for
tunate that we had so many ships out
and 1 am very glad that we were
able to render the aid we did,
He concluded with the declaration
that nothing had passed between him
and Capt. Rose during their formal
calls which gave any indication as to
what the plans Of the U-Loat COM
mander were.
Admiral Gleaves received today
from various sources, official and 9TH
erwise, commendation for the rescue
work of the various vessels under his
command. He also received a num-
Der Of offers Of aid and supplies for
the care Of the survivors. Admiral
Gleaves expressed his appreciation,
bnt stated that the survivors were
amply taken care Of.
A testimonial Of appreciation for
the assistance rendered by the flotilla
particularly the aid given by Lieut.
Commander d. c. Hanrahn and the
men of the destroyer Balch, who
picked up the passengers of the Red
Cross liner Stephano, was signed By
the passengers and crew of the liner.
In many quarters, the opinion was
expressed today that another outbreak
OF the U-boat and her cOnsorts, if she
had any, would not be surprising. It
was reported by members of the crew
of the Strathdene that the submarine
which sank her had filled her fuel
tanks with oil from the Norwegian
tank steamer Christian Knudsen be-
fore the latter was sent to the bottom.
Other refugees have declared that
they saw a German supply shin
hovering in the vicinity Of the raid
Sunday.
Although fuel tanks may have been
from the Norwegian YES
sel naval officers expressed the opin-
ion that after day Of such activity
the submarine must be short of am
munition. Reports of many of the
refugees agree that the submarine
which sank their ship was prodigal in
the use Of shells and that their yes-
sells had been given her finishing blow
