TROOP SHIP SUNK
BY GERMAN U.B0AT
Vessel Torpedoed 700 Miles East
Of Delaware Capss-67 Mem.
bers Of Crew Missing
NO TROOPS ABOARD
Craft was Aritish Transport Under
American Charter-On way 70 4. 3.
Submarine Probably Returning

Washington, June Alderman subrna-
rines operating on this side Of the Allan
tic ocean have sunk their FIRST troop ship.
The navy department announced to-day
that a British transport under charter
by the American government and bound
to this country had been destroyed June
H. some TOO miles east Of the Delaware
capes and that 81 members Of the crew
are missing. There we're no troops
aboard.
The troop snip apparently was not under
convoy. The submarine was not seen
until a torpedo had struck the ship.
Afterwards the submarine rose to the
surface and fired 10 shells into the sink
ing vessel. When the steamer settled,
the crew took to the boats. the occu-
pants of four Of which. numbering 81 men,
have been landed. Three boats are miss
ing and a search is being made for
them.
The fact that the British vessel was
sunk far off the coast led officials to be-
lieve that she either had encountered a
home. bound submarine that had been
operating in American waters. or else one
that was bound here for further raids
on shipping. The fact that the sea wolves
which first appeared off the coast late
last month had not been heard from
since June Il caused most officers to hold
to the first theory
The vessel destroyed was said to have
been the former Russian steamer Dwinsk
but the navy department was not per-
mitted to make the name public under
an agreement with the British admiralty
The Dwinsk is understood to have beer
in British service and chartered to the
United States TO expedite the movement
Of American troops.
OF the four boats from the steamer &C
counted for. two were found by a steamer
and their occupants taken to New York
a third was picked up by another stearel
and the men taken to Hampton Road
| and the fourth by a sailing vessel, which
landed the crew at Bermuda.
