AN ATLANTIC PORT, June l7.-One
of the elusive German undersea raiders
that have been taking toll of our mer-
chant marine and that of Norway for the
last several weeks, sank on Friday morn
ing by she'll fire 80 miles off the Virginia
coast the Norwegian bark Samoa, bound
from Buenos Ayres to an Atlantic port
with a large cargo. The first announce
ment of the latest exploit of the maraud
err came yesterday from the navy depart
ment, which said that Is of the Norwe
gian's crew, had been picked up by an
American schooner and transferred to
another vessel, presumably steamship,
| which was taking them to an American
| port.
The Norwegian sailing ship Kringsjaa
also was sunk bv a German submarine
90 miles off the Virginia coast. The navy
department announced last night that
the crew has been picked up by an Amer
/ isoh tAho 10 OSAh6 oAoaSh1 ~ Oil
Atlantic port.
The krinsjaa is the 2lst vessel sunk by
the pirates off the American coast, with a
possibility of more victims being heard
from in the interval that has elapsed
since Friday. 1t is believed that at least
one of the submarines, with 80 tons of the
sunken vindeggen's copper bars aboard
her, has sailed for Germany, leaving her
sister ship to do as much damage as she
lean and accumulate enough desirable
lplunder to make her trip profitable to the
military authorities of the kaiser before
she heads for home.
The Somoa was an aged, iron hulled
bark and one of the last of her class when
she was built in Greenock in 1885. She
was 2l5 feet long and measured | lbs
tons gross. She WAS reported having
. sailed from Buenos Ayres under com
mand of Capt. Dahl on April H.
