HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORTS NEW DRAFT BILL
RAIDER MENACING
 EASTERN FISHERIES

Canadian Atlantic Port rt.-The Ca- nadian steam trawler Triumph which was recently captured by a German submarine, has been fitted with two rapid fire guns and a wireless ap- paratus. She is manned by a crew of sixteen Germans, drawn from the crew of the submarine that captured her and is now engaged in raiding the fishing banks off the Nova Scotian shore.
 According to stories brought by survivors, she has succeeded in sink ing three fishing vessels so far and was steaming within the limits of the extensive Nova Scotia fishing banks in search of victims.
 None of the fishing boats are armed and it is thought that the Hun raider will do considerable dam age to the fishing fleet and the fishing industry unless she is soon destroyed.
 The survivors of some of the sunken fishing craft who are mak- ing their way to port in their small boats, state that they heard heavy firing out at sea in the direction of the fishing banks and they be- lieve that the raider was engaged in sinking more unarmed peaceful fishing boats.
