 Only One Man Lost
 Al the crews of the above named vessels. except the one man lost from the Pratt. were rescued.
 Tt appears that the schooner Edna which was found bottom up several days ago and lowed into Lewes, Del was also a victim of the submarine. The crew of the Edna have been land cd in New York. The master of the Winneceonne picked up the crew of tho Hattie Dunn
 Nothing further has been heard from the steamship Carolina, which sent out S. O. $. calls Sunday afternoon, stating that she was being shelled by a submarine. The Carolina at the time was reported in the same general vii cinity as that in which the schooners were sunk the same day.
 Guards in Sky and Air
 Meanwhile, departmental reports from naval districts along the Atlantic coast showed feverish activity among tho patrol fleets. From all along the : coast armed craft are converging on Inc spot where the enemy was last reported. Seaplanes are patrolling the air seeking any trace. Every craft has orders Co fire at sight at any suspicious object. Already they have pounded floating wreckage with shot and shell in search of the foes, leading to reports of battles at sea from various points.
 Persistent reports that one of the two raiders reported had been sunk and the other captured were in eircu- lation nearly all day. The department had nothing to confirm them.
 Raiders Believed Few.
 As the tale of sinkings unfolded. it became probable that not more than one or two raiders were at work and that the operations for yesterday and today were confined to a narrow zone off the New Jersey shore Later came the landing of the men held prisoner for days on the U-boats and the confir- nations of previous rumors that three derelict schOoners picked up off the Virginia Capcs nearly a week ago had been wrecked by an enemy submarine That disclosed the fact that the enemy had been lurking sixty or seventy miles off the coast for probably two week. nt least, hoping for a chance at a trooI ship.
 Captain Tells Story
 The only detailed account of tn, raiders work reaching Washington was that of the captain of the steame Bristol, which took the crew of the de stroyed schooner Edward H. Cole {, xrsbf the U-bo9t. The navy department is sued the following report from tn master of the steamer:
 "On Juno ?, at 4:5O p. m.. I sighte, a lifeboat with II men. the crew of tn American schooner Edward H. Cole the Cole having been sunk by a sub marine at 3.30 ?. m. about 50 mile southeast of Barnesat light. At 4:3 D. m., when 3S miles southeast of Bar negat, I sighted the submarine a about 800 yards headed direct for tn Bristol. l managed to outrun him an reached New York.
 Boat 200 Feet Long
 The crew of the Edward II. Col say the submarine was about 200 fee long and was armed with two rifles five or six inch About D. m June when fifty miles southeast of Barnega liSlll' lue NOlc SlSntCQ the SuDmarln on the starboard bow at 1000 -yard. He circled around, came up on the por side, and his commander told the cap tain and crew of the Cole to get i their boats, saying that he was goin 10 sink the vessel. He then cam aboard and examined the ships paper and at the same time gave the captai seven and half minutes 10 leave tn ship.
 Time is Short
 He told the captain to get som clothes, but the captain was too bus getting boats ready. About 15 minute after the crew got away from the Col it sank. Four bombs were placed O the vessel, two on each side, and som were placed about the deck. The sut marine stayed until the crew of til schooner rowed to the northwest. Or hour later, when about four miles frol the submarine, another steamship ar peared close up to the submarin which fired five times, before she a h.t hn oF
