teras Yesterday

A Canadian Atlantic Port, Aug. r.
An American schooner arrived here to-
day with eighty-fve members of the
crew Of Japanese freight steamer
which had been torpedoed off the Nova
Scotia coast.
The vessel was the Tolcuyama Maru,
Of 1929 tons gross. She was sunk with
out warning about 200 miles off shore
on Aug |, according to the crew.
The Tokuyama Maru, a freighter
which was owned by the Japanese Mail

from England to an American port. The
crew took to the small boats and were
picked up by the American schooner.
The vessel was built at Kobe in 1915.

marine late yesterday, the navy depart,
who took TO their boats, have reached
who took to their boatas, have reached
shore safely. The submarine came with
in half mile Of the shore, according to
the brief report which reached the navy
department.
The Diamond Shoals Light station is
one of the most famous guides to navi-
CATION in the world. Such vessels usual
ly are manned by ay-beards and are
Of such a type as to be utterly helpless
In the face of an enemy attack.
The attacking submarine probably
was the one that sank the American
tank steamer o. b. Jennings, one hun
dred miles off the Virginia coast several
days ago. Her exploit in showing her
self above water within half mile Of
the Carolina coast, in an important
shipping lane, where innumersble patrol
boats are supposed to be plying, is one
of the most daring since the undersea
craft made their appearance on this side
Of the Atlantic.
The navy had received only meagre
information when the statement was is
sued The Diamond Shosl ship guards
the outthrust reefs Of storm swept Cape
Hatteras, known as the graveyard of
the Atlantic coast.
The attack upon the lightship may
represent new phase OF enemy sub
marine operations off the American
coast, designed to hamper shipping by
destruction Of important navigation sig
mails.
