pedoed by a German submarine of
Cape Hatteras last night and, accord
ing to reports reaching here today,

sci amidships and that soon afterward
q cargo of gasoline exploded setting
fire to the ship and compelling them
to jump for their lives.

GIRL DROWNED

FLEE IN TERROR
Second Child of Family to Meet
Tragic Death Body Recov-
cred by Boatman.

Eight-year-old Anna Dafcik, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Charles Daf-
elk of $40 Penn street, was accidental
ly drowned shortly after Q o'clock last
night near the Public Service dock at
Buckingham avenue. The body was
recovered a few minutes later>~by a
boat captain.
Anna, together with several other
ploymates wandered away from her
home in the afternoon and evidently
went down near the shore at the foot
of Buckingham avenue. . Just how
the drowning occurred could not be
learned but it is believed that the
foung girl probably fell into the
water and was carried out by the tide.
According to Coroner James J..
Flynn there,were several eye witnesses
Rt>the scene Of the drowning. Seeing
young girl struggling in the water a
captain OF one of the barges lying out
In the stream Immediately got into q
row boat mad hurried to the scene
but he was too late. The body, had
already gone to the ottom. The cap
tain lshed out the body and brought
1t to the shore.
The boat captain claimed that some
man ON the shore had seen the girl
drowning and could have saved her
but made no strenuous efforts to do
80. When questioned by the coroner,
the man claimed that he did not have
sufficient time to remove his clothes
and save the girl from her watery
grave,
News of the drowning spread like
fire and soon after the body was
brought ashore by the boat captain
over 400 persons had gathered near
the scene. DR.. William H. Mccormick
was Immediately summoned and
after working on the body for some
time, declared 1t lifeless.
When Coroner Flynn arrived. vain
efforts were made to identify the girl.
II seemed that her playmates had dis
appeared, probably frightened over the
drowning.
Being unable to identity the girl
the coroner took the body TO his
-Y11orgue and one hour later the father
OF the girl came rushing into the cor
oner's ONCE, stricken with grief and
Identified the body.
It seems as though misfortune is de-
termined toNciing about the family OF
Dafcik. Two years ago, the two-year-
old child of Mr. and Mrs Dafcik was
: burned to death IN a ire at their
home.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
