Nine Vessels Reported
’ Sunk in Raids by Three
German Submarines
Port.
NEWPORT, R. 1., Oct. 9.--Ey,e~witnesses~ stories of the tor—
pedoin,,r of passenger and freight steamers by German submarines
of? Nantucket yesterday were told here today.
According to a report brought by officers of a flotilla of‘
United States destroyers, whicn picked up passengers and crews
of several of the vessels destroyed, nine merchant ships were
sunk.
One of the submarines is supposed to have been the U-53.
which visited this harbor Saturday, and another was declared to
be the U-6:. Mrs. Henry B. Wilmn, of Williamstown, Mass. a
passenger of the Stephano, one of the vessels sunk, said that an
'officer and,several of the crew told her that they had distinctly
seen the. name U-61 on the submarine that attacked their ship.
l Six vessels are known to have been sunk and the report that
the total was nine was based on a statement of the‘captain of
the Nantucket Shoals Lightship, near which the attacks took place.
tThe captain said that three submarines were engaged.
L The list of submarine victims included four British, one Nor-
.Wegian and one Dutch vessel. The identity of the other three
reported to have been lost had not been learned early today.
a The British vessels were the freighter West Point, bound
from London for Newport News; the Strathdene, from New
:York for Bordeaux; the Kingston. destination not stated, and the
passenger steamer Stephano of the Red Cross Line, from St.
John’s, N. F., for New York.
The Bioomersdijk, Dutch, bound from New York to Rotter-
‘dam via Kirkwall, and the Chr. Knudsen, a Norwegian tanker,
are the others whose identity is known. ~
The crews of all three vessels, with the exception of the
Kingston, were brought to this port today, together with the 83
passengérs of the Stephano, and were cared forby the officers of
Newport summer colony. . 4.
It was believed_that no lives had been lost, and although
.‘the men of the freighted Kingston wore reported adrift at sea in
"open boats, the fact that the weather was mild and the sea calm,
made it seem probable that they would be rescued within a few
hours by some of the searching craft.
l Of the passengers of the Stephano, 30 were American tourists
returning from Newfoundland and the Canadian maritime prov-
inces. All came through their rough experience without injury,
according to officers of the American destroyers, but lost nearly
all their effects. Some were able to save a few valuables, but their
baggage went down with the ship.
.l Lieut.-Commander Miller. of the Ericsson, which picked up
home of the boats from the Stephano, said that no ‘attack was
made by the submarine on this vessel until after all on board
had left the ship. When the Ericsson arrived at the lightship'
Commander Miller observed a submarine a mile distant and‘al'
most immediately heard three shots from the bow gun of the sub-
mersible. Through the haze he could dimly nuke out the Ste-
phano, the object of attack. None of the shots struck the ship and
probably none was aimed directly at her. The Stephano hove to
immediately and sent a mesSage to the Ericsson saying: "Pleasel
take off our passengers." , ‘
l Before Commander Miller could get his boats to the side of
[the steamer, shea had loaded all her passengers in her own boats,
from which they were taken on board the destroyer within five
minutes. The Stephano was still afloat when the destroyers left
but was repomd litter as sunk. '
l The Ericsson brought here 25 women and to children, while
.,I;he destroyer Balch brought 69 others from the Stephano, in-
