EAsTPORT, Ne, Aug. 5.-The
first successful foray OF a German
submarine in Canadian waters was
reported here Sunday Capt.
Charles z. DagweH OF the British
lumber schooner Dornfontein and
his crew Of eight men landed in
their small boat on Grand Manan

a. m. Sunday and reported that
their vessel had been held up,
looted and set on FIRE by a U-boat
25 miles southwest of Brier island.

The submarine apparently was
watching for bigger game. She was
IN a position commanding shipping

This afternoon an American pa

his men from Grand Manan 10 St.

well. the commander of the U-boat
told him he had been on this coast
six months and would be here un-
til October. The submersible looked
to Capt. Dagwell 10 be 275 feet in
length. She carried two guns and
had a crew Of 70 men.
The Dornfontein was stocked with
provisions for a voyage 10 South
African ports and the Germans
cheered as boat load after boat load
of goods was transferred TO the
raider. The British sailors were
allowed to take with them only the
clothes they stood IN.
The submarine, which came TO
the surface a short distance from
the schooner, fired a warning shot
and sent a small boat aboard. Fires
were started on various parts of the
vessel and today, "a hours after the
Dornfontein was attacked. a smUdge
of smoke from her hulk was visible
from Grand Manan island. i1dicat-
ing that she was still aioat.
The DornfOntein was on her
maiden voyage She was of 1000
tons dead weight and was launched
