CAROLINA LIFEb0AT
CAPSIZES IN STORM
Only 10 Out Of 80 Original 0CCu-
pants Saved From Drowning

LeWes, Del, June 5.-Nineteen sur
vivors, passengers and crew, of the
summarized steamship Carolina were
landed here yesterday and brought a
narrowing tale of the sea, the news of
the loss of Is of their number and a
remarkable rescue of q girl while they
drlfted helplessly on the ocean during
severe thunderstorm Sunday night
len boats left the Carolina before
she was sunk by the German subma-
rine U-37. All passed through the
same storm, and the survivors here
said they had felt sure all were lost.
They felt great joy when informed
that most of the Cardinals company
had been saved.
Inc IL persons were brought in by
British vessel that picked them no
more than 25 miles outside the Della
ware Cape. They were taken in charge
by the naval authorities and cared for
at the station near Cape Henlopen
In the meantime, no one was per-
m1tted to see them, but they made full
statements to the naval officers. None
OF them had any knowledge that the
submarine had shelled the lifeboats.
The story of the survivors did not
become public until they were taken
afternoon and left for New York. A
German member of the crew, however,
was detained pending an investigation
According to the survivors, the
Carolina was warned late Sunday
afternoon by wireless to look out for
submarines. The steamer was advised
that three-masted schooner had just
been sunk and was cautioned not to
show lights. At 6 o'clock Sunday eve
ming submarine appeared above the
surface close to the Carolina She later
was identified as the U-37.

then the U-boat raised the German
flag. A German officer came along
side and gave orders to our captain to
lower all boats and leave the ship in
20 minutes
"Ten boats were lowered and every
body got in. All the time the subma-
rine lay as close as possible. After all
the lifeboats had swung from the
Carolina, the German officers aboard
the abandoned steamer hailed one of
the lifeboats and ordered her to re,
turn. In going through the steamer
he found a fireman who had been left
behind and ordered the lifeboat to re-
turn for him.
when this last boat was clear of
the ship again the Germans left the
Carolina and in a few minutes the
submarine shelled her seven times.
