THINK AEROPLANE BOMB
MAY HAVE SUNK SHIP
fBy Associated Press,)

PARIS, March l3.-The first officer of
the Norwegian bark Silius is quoted by
the Paris Herald as expressing the opin-
ion that the vessel may have been struck
by a bomb from an aeroplane, ms .ead
of by torpedo, as previously reported.
The first officer was on watch at the
time and heard noise, which he thought
was made by an aeroplane, although he
could see none. Then there came ter
rifle explosion about the middle Of the
ship on the port side A huge wave
swept over the vessel.
The crew got into boats with great
difficulty and cleared the Silius just rs a
mast fell. The men rowed around the
sinking ship and picked up six others
from the water. A French torpedo boat
took all on board. The officers of the
torpedo boat came to the conclusion that
the Silius, on which there were several
Americans had been struck by a torpedo
from submarine.
