Apparently the entire voyage was
made without danger until the vessel
approached the American shore when

the Deutschland submerged for some
time and when II came to the surface
the British ship wds not in sight The
freighter then made her way to this
pert by the inside passage passing be-
tween Martha e Vineyard and No Man 3
Land.
