Notwithstanding tho storm, the Chi

and sank within eight minutes after she

The sailors ot the Lockwood weto res
cued by u fishing smack early today after
they had rowed about for several hours.
The Lockwood was a steel ship of 11)3
tons, built in 1S3C. and was commanded
by Captain H.'H. Ilenson.
The Norwegian bark Nor, which was
attacked by n German submarine on
Thursday, was still afloat but bunting
21 hours later, according to a dispatch
recoived from Amsterdam today. It said
that tho captain of a trawler which ar
rived at Ymuldon reported having seen

The captain and seven of the crew of
the Dutch steamship Sch(cland have
reached Hull with the news of the loss
of their ship. Tho Schlelaud was steam
ing Thursday In the North Sea at a point
about 21 miles from Spurn, on the east
coast of England, near -the entrance to
the number River, when a terrific ex
plosion occurred underneath her. The
ship began to sink rapidly. Tho crew
took to her small boatu and got away
Just before she went down. The captain
believes he struck u mine, and fears that
another small boat with seven of his
crew In It was lost. Sho has not been

The Schlelaud had a net tonnage of Cjl
and was built In 1909. Sho was 221 feet
In length, 33 feet beam and 12 feet depth.
Jler home port was Kotterdatn.
The boat, In which were her captain
and seven of her crew, was picked up
several hours after tho Schlelaud had
gone down.
All Knglnnd Is Indignant over the de
struction of the Type trawlers. On every
side cornea the positive assertion that
Germany has deliberately violated a pro
vision of The Hague Convention of 1207,
which expressly prevents fishing vessels
from molestation.
Turning to avoid a buoy thought to be
a German submarine, the oil tanker Trln

MISS M.E. GARRETT,
OFBRYNMAWR,DEAD
College Director SUccumbs to
Blood Poisoning After Three
Weeks' Illness.
Miss Mary Elizabeth Garrett, a member
of the boaid of directors of Uryn Mawr
College and wealthy Baltimore philan
thropist, died at the Deanery of that
institution at G:30 o'clock this morning
after an Illness ot some weeks, which
doctors diagnosed as blood poisoning.
Miss Garrett has long been a promi
nent figure at the college, and her deatlt
came as n great shock to officials rinu
students of the Institution, who had not
realized the seriousness of her ailments,
for although sho was Vi years old she
had taken an active interest in all that
went 011 at the college, and had been a
"mother' to many of ho girls when
sluk ot in trouble.
Although Miss Garrett has lived al
most continuously at the college since
she was appointed a. director of tltat in
stitution. In I'M, she also had a home in
Baltimore, where she founded the Bryn
Mawr School for Girls, u, preparatory
school to Bryn Mawr College, This mag
ntlicent building stands at Cathedral and
Preston streets, one of many testimonials
to her keen Interest In education,
Ono of the most potable accomplish
ments credited to Miss Garrett was her
successful nght to open the doors of
Johns Hopkins UuntverBlty to women who
desired to study medicine. Owing to the
attitude ot the officials of that Institu
tion, it was predicted, that this 6tep
would never be realized, but Miss Gar
rett's determination and perseverance
accomplished her purpose after unceeas
Ing efforts covering a period of several
years. '
Mss Garrett was a sister to Hubert
Garrett, of Baltimore, whose wife Is now
Mrs. Henry Barton Jacqbs. prominent

It was announced this a(tmoon that
the body would be sent Immediately to
