BOVIC. ARRIVING AT NEW YORK. REPORT
SIGHTING SUBMERSIBLE ABOUT ONE MILE
ASTERN OF LINER HELIIG OLAF, APPAR-
EMILY IN PURSUIT

NEW YORK, October ia west
bound submarine was sighted one
mile astern Of the Danish liner Hellig
Olav about $40 yesterday morning
ky the White Star liner Bowie which
reached hero today from Manchester,
England.
Some Of the Bovic's officers beiiev-
Ell the submarine was pursuing the
Danish vessel. Others were not cer-
tain that the HelIig Olav was being
pursued.
The BOyic's captain ordered full
steam ahead and dashed westward at
the greatest possible speed to avoid u
possible attack from the submersible.
The Hellig OIav left New York
Thursday for Copenhagen and other
Scandinavian ports, carrying n cabin
passengers and other passengers In
the steerage. She was about two
hundred miles east Of New York
when the Bowie saw the submarine
near her yesterday. Shipping men
declare they saw no reason why u
submarine should attack the Hellig
Olav and thought the submarine
might have been steaming across
the vessels path leading the Bowie
officers to believe she was being
pursued.
Captain Johns OF the Bowie would
not discuss the statement OF the
liners officers. Captain John Hall.
the Sandy Hook pilot who brought
the Bowie in. said the captain told
him he saw only the periscope' OF the
submarine and that 1t was n mile
away. He would have fired on the
submarine had ii offered larger
target, he said.

tured. and he was otherwise injured.
Mr.. Purnell's answer denies the
plaintiff was injured by collision
with defendants car; denies that de-
PENDANT failed to sound the claxon or
horn of the auto; denies that plaintiff
was damaged on account of the care
lessness of the defendant, or suffered
in the sum of $4,000, or was forced
to spend 5000 for medical attention
or lost any time. and declares that
defendant has no knowledge as to
whether plaintiff was injured by any
one.
