manned afloat until 1906 o'clock last
night.
Kingston Sunk.
Near sunset the British steamer
Kingston came within view of the sui
mersible. The same procedure was
followed as with the other vessels
and at 6 .. m. the Kingston went down
a short distance southeast Of the
Eghtship.
The bright moonlight gave the sub
marine a chance to continue opera
tions in the evening. She moved a
little to the westward, and soon after
dark stopped the Dutch tramp
steamer Bloomersdijk, bound from
New York for Rotterdam, three miles
south of the lightship. Supposedly on
the thory that she was carrying con-
traband, the steamer was sunk after
the crew had entered small llfeboats.
The submarine left her still afloat,
but she went down at 500 p. m.
Norwegian Steamer is Victim.
A little later the Norwegian steam
err Christian Knudsen, New York for
London, was similarly held up and
sent to the bottom. Three osner
steamers were reported sunk early to-
dav. The Kansan, meanwhile, had
sent broadcast radiograms telling OF
the submarines appearance in the
vicinity of the lightship. The West
Point also was able to flash brief
messages giving word of her plight
before she was abandoned by her
crew. These dispatches were picked
up at Newport and fleet OF uhltea
States torpedo boat destroyers was
Immediately ordered out to pick up
the crews.
Throughout the day and night the
destroyers cruised in the waters Tor
several miles around the Nantucket
lightship, receiving word from time
to time of the sinking OF addllio1lal
vessels. They located the survivors
of all the vessels known to have been
destroyed except the Kingston ana
look them aboard.
