Was Ship of 1888 Tons.

The Allan liner Caigarian was a vessel
of 17,515 tons gross, 56S feet long and
seventy feet of beam. She was built in
Glasgow in 1914.
There are no published records of the
recent movements of the Calgarian. which
for some time has been in the service of
the British government. The last report
given out concerning the liner was in
April, 1916, when she sailed from Halifax
for England With Canadian troops.
A most unusual circumstance in connec-
ton with the sinking of the Calgarian is
the fact that she was struck by four tor
pt.aoes. So far as published reports have
shown. in no previous case has mer-
,.iilptluan been subjected 10 such a heavy
attack by submarines. Evidently the Ger
mans concentrated U-boatS TO insure the
sinking OF the liner.
