LEYLAND LINE VESSEL
WRECKED OFF ENGLAND
Coleman, in Service Almost Since Be
ginning of War Carried $2,000,0OO
Cargo

BOSTON. May 22.-The Leyland Line
steamship Coleman was wrecked Sunday
night on the south coast of England, ac-
cording to a cablegram received in this city
The message said the ship, which was
carrying a cargo of munitions. grain, lum-
ber and cotton from this port, probably
would he a total loss
II was believed in shipping circles that
the Coleman had lost her bearings and
that the wreck was due TO a mshap not
connected with the perils of war The fact
that the English coast is not lighted was
referred to In this connection, Mariners
commented also on the fact that the
Colonian had not missed a trip since she
was placed in the service from Boston
early in the war The vessel, with her
cargo, was valued at $2,O00,000.
IL was considered probable that the
Colonlan landed part Of her cargo. including
munitions at Plymouth before the accident,
which occurred, probably, while she was
bound for London.
Cablegram received here yesterday
said the ColonIan had arrived safely at
Plymouth.
The Coleman was a vessel OF 6440 tons
She was built at Newcastle in 1901, and
was commanded by Captain John Nc
Donald.
