.-Boat Stops
Swedish Ship
OFF Our Coast
Captain Warned Against
Continuing in Trade With
United States

AN ATLANTIC PORT. Aug. GA
Swedish freight steamship which ar
rived here to-day was stopped by q
U-boat yesterday 70 miles off this port
and held for an hour, while the Uboat
commander examined her papers.
The vessel was allowed to proceed
because, the German officer told the
freighter captain, he was engaged in
carrying foodstufs for his own coun-
try. The captain was warned, how
ever. by the u-boat commander that
he was likely to be sunk at any time
should he continue in the American
trade.
"You would not sink us without
warning, would you?" one of the
officers of the Swedish ship asked the
U-boat commander
Don't be too sure about that-bes st
not take any chances" was the reply.
The u-boat which popped up so close
to this port is thought to be the same
one which sank the British steamship
