BRITISH VESSEL
Hun Raider Uses No Torpe-
does Wien Attacking
Schooner Dornfontein.
CREW ESCAPES IN DoRY

By the Associated Press.
EASTPORT, Me-, August 3.-A little
cloud of smoke rising today from the
burning hulk of the British schooner
Dornfontein seven miles south of
Grand Manan Island at the entrance
to the Bay of Fundy. marked the
scene Of the most recent German sub
marine attack on the Atlantic coast
The schooner, lumber laden. from
St John. N. B., for port south. was
overtaken just before noon yester-
day by German submarine. her
crew driven into their dory and the
vessel robbed andr burned. After
rowing three hours the men reach
ed Grand Manan Island and were
put UP for the night at the Two
Island life-saving station. Today a
patrol boat from Machias was sent
to take them to Machias.
The schooner was in command of
Capt. Charles Z. Dagwell of st. John.
who had crew of nine men. She was
just getting into the open sea, twen-
ty-five miles Of Briar Island, when
the submarine rose and fired two
shots across her bow.
Germans Ransack Ship.
The schooner quickly came to and a
few minutes later was boarded by a
party of Germans. From their dory
the crew saw the Germans ranSack
their ship and remove provisions.
They wasted no torpedoeS, shells or
bombs, but set the vessel afire. From
Grand Isle the smoke was visible to-
day. indicating that the craft was
still afoat.
The crew said the submarine ap-
peared to be about 200 feet in length,
and carried two guns Some ship
ping men expressed the opinion that
II was the same U-boat that attacked
tug and barges off Cape Cod on July
Il This theory was based on the be-
lief that 10 navigating officer would
risk his ship near the lodges in the
| Bay of Fundy unless he knew the
waters very well.
This is linked up with the boast of
the second officer of the U-boat which
sank Gloucester fisherman off the
| Maine coast few days after the ex-
piolt off the Massachusetts, coast that he
had long had a summer home in Maine
Search for Raider Futile.
AS soon as news ot the attack
| reached the patrol station at Machias
a lively search for the German was
begun by patrol boats and submarine
chasers.
The attack appears to have been
/ made in British waters. 1t is believed
that the U-boat was lurking in the
channel for bigger game. She was
directly in the path of shipping TO
and from St. John. 1t is thought
quite as probable. however that she
was engaged in placing mines in the
channel and. having disposed of her
cargo. attacked the schooner prelinl-
| mary to returning to her base.
The Dornfontein, launched six
weeks ago at St John, was on her
maiden voyage. She was a vessel of
| 1000 tons deadweight and built in
the Marine Construction Company s
yard. The agents reported today that
the schooner was bound for South
African ports.
