DECLARES ATTACK
 WITHOUT WARNING
Master Says lJ Men Lost When One of tRe Boats Turned Oypr-Subma- rine Trailcd Survivors, but
 Offered No Assistance.

Plymouth, via London, March 19.- Fifteen of the crew of the American steamer Vigelencia lost their lives when the steamer was torpedoed by German submarine. The survivors; were in lifeboats from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon. Among those drowned were several American citi- zens, including Third Offced Neils P North and Third Engineer Karl Adeholde.
 This information was given by Capt. Frank A. Middleton of New York. who, with the survivors of the Vigelen- cia, reached the mainland today, and will make affidavit tomorrow before the American consul.
 To the Associated Press correspond ent Captain Middleton said today that the vessel was sunk without warning. It was about 10 o'clock Friday morn ing, with clear weather, when the steamship was torpedoed. The missile striking on the starboard side just after of No. 3 hatch, Two tOrped0es were fired. but the first passed astern. Between and 10 minutes after the steamer was struck she foundered.
 The life boats were lowered from the Vigelencia, and her crew of 43 got into them. but owing to the swell one overturned, throwing 9 men into the water. The boats of the captain and mate picked up ten, but the other 15 drowned.
 Submarine Trailed Boat.
 Captain Middleton said he saw no submarine during the attack, but one of the engineers thinks he saw the periscope of submarine. The cap tain saw two oily streaks on the water about 1000 yards from the ship, and these he took to be the tracks of tor pedoes.
 The Vigelencia was flying the Amer jean flag and had her name and the flag painted on her sides.
 Speaking of his experience in the boat, the captain said:
 "We rescued as many of the crew as possible. Tn the boats we had biscuits and water. At night we fired distress signals. Several times dur ing the night I saw submarine fol- lowing 50 yards from the boat, be- tween 10 o'clock Friday night and 2:50 o'clock Saturday morning, but the submarine made no attempt to help us. We suffered great hardship. One may be paralyzed as a result of ex- pOsure."
 Third Officer North of the Vigelen- cia was born in Denmark, but was a naturalized American citizen. The name of Engineer Adeholde was not contained in the list of the crew given out in New York Sunday night. This list said 45 men in the ships com pany, including Captain Middleton, were Americans. Two of the Ameri- can were naturalized citizens, and one, Canadian, had taken out his first naturalization papers.
