A report was received here today that a German sub marine, which may hae been the U-BJ, has been destroyed off Nantucket Shoals. The Rrltlsh steamship North Pacific while coaling here, reported that she had been signaled by a British cruiser oft the coast, and that the cruiser reported by wireless the sinking of the submarine. The wireless message, according to the North Pacific, read as follows: "Oerman submarine sunk off Nantucket" The North TacHlc arrived In Hampton Roads from New Orleans Monday night Captain Beck, of the North Pacific, re fused to discuss the report British officials pointed out that a British cruiser would hardly report the sinking of n submarine to a freight ship and express the belief thnt the wireless message was merely a warning that a German submarine had been seen oft Nantucket. The U-SJ 'Mas last definitely reported by the captain of the steamship Bovlc as having been seen nt 6 o'clock last Friday morning sixty miles esst of Nantucket. Tho report at that time that the U-boat nns chasing the Danish Ilelllg Olav was afterward denied. The entire world was startled when a German war submarine, the U-5J, rose out of the sea on October 8 at Newport R. I., and, after delivering a message destined for Count von BernstorfT, German Ambas sador to the United States, and paying offi cial compliments to American naval author ities, sailed away as mysteriously as she appeared. Her departure, however, was soon succeeded by the sinking of five steam ships oft Nantucket Shoals, and the re port that the purpose of her trip across the Atlantic was to Inaugurate a campaign against allied shipping oft the American coast Oi the U-58's victims, three were.
