EVELYN STRUCK BY
.BRITISH MINES
Continued from rase One
not transgressed the American "death
zone" warning note.
The State Department today announced
that, pending a comprehensive report
from its diplomatic officers on the sinking
of the American steamer Evelyn, this
Government's rejoinders to the Kngllsh
and German notes on the flying of neutral
(lags and submarine warfare will be post
poned. The department has Instructed
American Consul Fee, at Bremen, by
cable to collect and forward all details
as to the manner of tho Evelyn's de
struction. Inasmuch as the captain and crew were
saved, the incident assumed far less Im
portance lit official minds than it other
wise would.
Ambassadors Page ard Gerard have
been notified to extend to the craw every
needed aid and moreover to cable any
Information throwing light on the case.
The Germany Embassy today held the
vestal certainly was not destroyed wil
fully by Germans, inasmuch as she car
ried a pargo of cotton destined for Ger
many, which is suffering for that com
modity. BERLIN, Feb. 22.
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."
