London The British steamesnlp
Marina, employed in transporting
horses from America, was sunk with
out warning by a German submarine
100 miles west of Cape Clear, Ireland,
Saturday afternoon, according to a
message received by the American
embassy from Wesley Frost, Ameri-
can consul at Queenstown. Lloyd's
reports that q steamship anchored of
CrookhaVen has signaled that she has
rescued "a of the Marina's crew Of 1O4
men.
The admiralty informed the Ameri-
can embassy that 40 men of the Mari
mas crew were Americans. 1t is
not known how many of the "a res
cued are Americans, nor what has
become of the 10 others of the crew.
Mr.. Frost has gone to Crookhaven
to obtain affidavits from any Ameri-
cans who were among the "a of the
Marina's crew landed there. He has
been directed to forward such affida.
Wits to the American embassy for
prompt transmission to the State De
partment at Washington.
A private dispatch received at Lon
don states that among those drowned
when the Marina was sunk were sew.
eral Americans.
In reply to inquiries by the Ameri-
can embassy, the admiralty stated that
the Marina had been torpedoed, but 1t
had not been ascertained whether
warning was given. The information
received by the admiralty was that the
Marina had been torpedoed twice and
had broken In two. Men were drowned
while attempting to lower the life
boats.
The attitude of the United States
government will depend largely upon
the status Of the Marina, It was ex.
planned. The admiralty stated that
she was not under charter to the gov.
eminent, in which event international
lawyers hold that under President
Wilson's note the submarine should
have made provision for the rescue OF
the crew before sinking the vessel.
