eighty-on passengers besides her crew
OF sixty men. and carrying a cargo Of
$4,000 bunches Of bananas. the United

U-boat operations.
The vessel was diverted here after
Capt. Henehaw had received wireless
message that the tanker Herbert l..
Pratt. as well as Sc, eral other vessels,
had been destroyed only short dis
tance from his ship.
As soon as the oensors had completed
their work the mail brought by the
Sixaola was sent on to New York. As
the men, women and children left the
boat they were placed in taxicabs and
taken to n station where special accom-
modat!ons had been arranged for them
on the 2 o'clock train for New York.
Capt. Henshaw said he received his
first warning that submarines were of
the coast Saturday night. when the op-
orator picked up a message from Arling-
ton station to the effect that submarines
had sunk some vessels along the coast
and warned Aip to put In at the nearest
