Miles City, and died shortly after.
The story was given to the Volga
Tribune by Mr.. Oines. who was
on the train, and who assisted the
unfortunate young man. The con-
ductor's story of the incident how
ever, indicates that the best that
could be done under the circumstan-

print below the story of the con-
ductor to his superintendent:
Miles City, Mont, Oct. %
W. G. Ennis, Supt.

After arriving at Miles City, and

BIC TROOPS SHIP, VICTIM
OF U-BOAT OVER HERE
British Boat Sunk Off Delaware
Capes; First Transport At
tackled on This Side.

Washington. June 25-German sub-
marines operating on this side OF the
Atlantic have sunk their first troop ship.
The Navy Department announced
esteriay that British transport, under
charter by the American government and
bound to this country, had been destroyed
June is, some 700 miles east OF the Della
ware Capes. and that sixtI-seven members
of the crew are missing. There were no
troops aboard.
The troop ship apparently was not
under CONVOY The submarine was not
seen until a torpedo had struck the ship.
Afterward the subnersible rose to the
surface and fired nineteen shots into the
sinking vessel. When the steamship
settled the crew took TO the boats The
occupants of four, numbering eighty-one
men. have been landed. Three boats
are missing and a search is being made
for them.
The fact that the British vessel was
sunk far off the coast led officials &c
believe that she either had encountered
;, homebound submarine. which 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 IA causes most officers to hold to
ne first theory.
The last sinkings reported of the coast
occurred sorne ninety miles east OF the
Virginia Capes, and it was argued that
IN the four DAYS eIapsng before the British
transport was sent down the submarine
would have had ample time TO reacn the
position where the troopship was sunk.
The vessei destroyed wac said to have
been the former Russian steamship
Dwinsk, but the Navy Department was
not permitted to make the name public
under an agreement with the British
Admiralty The Dwinsk Is understood TO
have been in British service and charter
