|LIGHTSHIP II IS SUNK 4
BY SUBMARINE SHELL
HELPLESS CRAFT ANCHORED OFF
CAPE HATTERAs TO WARN
SHIPPING, THE VICTIM.
Crew Of IL Men on the Light Vessel
Escaped In the Small Boat and
Rowed the Ten or Twelve Miles
To Shore.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. -Destruction by sub
marine of Diamond Shoals Lightship
No. II, helpless craft anchored of
Cape Hatteras to warn shipping from
the treacherous shoals forming the
graveyard of the Atlantic Coast" con-
firms the belief of naval officials that
German sea wolves sent to this side
Of the Atlantic are under orders to
handicap commerce in all ways pos
sible without exposing themselves to
naval or other formidable opponents.
News of the Smelling and sinking Of
the lightship came to the Navy De-
partment clearing up the mystery OF
earlier reports from coast guard sta
tions on the North Carolina Coast that
heavy Smelling was heard at sea. The
crew of IL men on the light vessel
escaped in the small boat and rowed
the 10 or IL miles to shore.
Subsequently the submarine appear
ed within half mile of the land, which
projects far out from the main coast
of North Carolina. There were no re-
ports of attacks on villages, coast
guard stations or lighthouses, and the
purpose of the submarine commander
showing himself so near the beach was
not clear. So far as has been reported
no attack was made on any villages or
other objects. Secretary Daniels said
that undoubtedly the purpose of the
submarine commander in destroying
the lightship was to hinder commerce
as much as possible. Great volumes
of both coastwise and overseas COM
merce pass Cape Hatteras both to and
from southern ports, and the German
probably believed that with the light
ship gone some vessels might be
wrecked on the shoals. So far as has
been reported no vessels had come to
grief In the meantime steps have
been taken to restore the light ship by
another which is always held in re-
serve for this station.

said. "It will go farther, perhaps. to-
