that, pending a comprehensive report
from its diplomatic officers on the sinking

poned. The department has Instructed
American Consul Fee, at Bremen, by

Official announcement was mado at the
Admiralty today that all tho crew of tho
American steamer Evelyn, whloh was
sunk by a mine off Borkum Island In the
North Sea on Saturday, had been rescued.
The vessel had passed safily through
the war xone proclaimed by Germany on
ier way to Bremen when she hit the
mine, A great hbla was made In her star
board side, through which tho water
poured, and Captain Smith, seeing It
would be Impassible to beach her, ordered
his crew to the boats.
EVELYN IN PHILADELPHIA
SERVICE FOR MANY YEARS
In maritime circles the Kvelyn was
looked upon as a Philadelphia ship. Bha
ran between this port and Gulf porta for
many years in tho service of the Phila
delphia and Gulf Steamship Company,
which purchased the vessel from A. II.
Bull & Co., of New York.
Following the failure of the Philadelphia
and Gulf Company the receiver, S. V.
fVetherlll. Jr.. sold tha Evelyn and her
sister ship, tha Mae, to Andrew 2tc
Glpnls for Wl00- A lew weeks later
they were turned over to the Independent
Pier Company. O. G. Hempstead and
Sons Company purchased the Evelyn In
October, As this company wsa the local
representatives of the North arman
Ltoyd Steamship Company, it was
rumored that German money had paid
for the vesul and that she was to be
used to supply tho German cruisers In
South American waters.
"There does not appear to bs any ques
tion of international law Involved In the
sinking of the steamship Evelyn," John
Frderick Iewis, an international iaw
exprt. said today. "While she wag an
American ship, flying an American Hag,
thr was no active hostility against her.
The same fate that overtook her might
have occurred to a German warship. X
don't believe tha German nation can bo
called upon to reimburse her owners for
her loss."
