British Tramp Sent Down by City of
Norfolk.-No Lives Lost.
Norfolk, Vain q collision in. the
inner harbor shortly before 8 o'clock
the British tramp steamer Hawk
head, said to have been at anchor,
was sunk and the bay lincr City Of
Norfolk, Of the Chesapeake Steamship
Company's Line, was badly damaged.
There was no loss Of life and so far
as can be learned no one seriously
injured.
The accident was due to a heavy
fog hanging over the harbor. The
City Of Norfolk was outward-bound
and carried in the neighborhood of
100 passengers. The majority were
at supper when the crash came.
Great excitement prevailed for few
minutes, but was quickly quieted by
the officer on the liner.
Fearing that tthe damage to the
steamer was greater than could be
ascertained the passengers on the
City of Norfolk were Immediately
transferred to the Old Dominion
river steamr Pocahontas, where they
remained only few minutes, when
the majority were transferred to an
outgoing Old Bay Line steamer for
the continuation of the voyage up the
bay. About Is Of the passengers
elected to return to Norfolk.

BRINGS LETTER TO EMBASSY
TarrIes Only Three Hours and Asks
For No Provisions, Water, Fuel or
Repalrs..-Had Mounted Guns Fore
and Att.

Newport, r. L. Seventeen days
from Wilhelmshayen the Imperial
German submarine U-53 dropped an.
chor in Newport harbor.
Almost before the officers of the
American fleet Of warships through
which the stranger had nosed her
way, had recovered from their aston
1shment, the undersea fighter had de-
livered message for the German
Ambassador and, weighing anchor
turned Brentons reef lightship and
disappeared beneath the waves just
outside the three-mile limit.
She flew the black and white col
ors of the German Navy, gun was
mounted on the forward deck and
another aft, while eight torpedoes
were plainly visible under the forward
deck
Lieut. Captain Hans Rose, COM
manding the U-53, said that he had
called at Newport simply to mail a
letter to Count Won Bernstorff. He re-
quired neither provisions nor fuel and
would be on his way, he said, long
before the "a hours during which q
belligerent ship may remain within
neutral harbor had expired.
The submarine was in American
waters little more than three hours,
assuming that she continued to sea
after submerging. Within that time
the German commander paid Official
visits to Rear Admiral Knight COM
mandant of the second naval district,
and Rear Admiral Glaves, comman-
der Of the destroyer force Of the At
lantic fleet, who was on board the
| flagship, the scout cruiser Birming-
ham. Both American officers re-
turned the brief call promptly.
While these formalities were being
exchanged wireless messages were
carrying to the ships of the British
and French patrol feet off the coast
and warning that hostile submarine
had slipped through their Gordon and
might be expected in the open sea
soon. At the forts and the naval sta
ton the fleet of Captain Hans Rose
was the one subject Of conversation,
and there was much speculation as
to her mission.
The first question asked by Cap
tain Rose when a motor boat came
alongside was: "Have you heard
from the Breman?"
When he was told that there was
no news Of the missing craft his face
became grave but he made no COM
ment. To the naval men generally,
the most interesting fact disclosed by
Captain Rose was that he had been
at sea II days and still had provisions
for three months, abundant fuel and
needed no repairs. Not SO much as q
bottle Of water was taken aboard and
the ship was spick and span.
The U-53 had made her way
through the feet Of 81 United States
warships, including destroyers and
submarines, to an anchorage. Cap
tain Rose told the correspondent that
he had come in to mail letter to
Count Won Bernstorff and asked for
the newspaper mans credentials.
The latter exhibited an Associated
Press badge and was intrusted with
the correspondence for the Ambassa-
dor please forward this letter to
Count Bernstorff," said the captain,
"and report my arrival. They will be
glad to hear it,"
