NEW YORK, April 25.
Officials of the Atlantic Transport Co. have re
ceived word that the American steamship Mongolia
had sunk a German submarine. The Mongolia re
ported the attack upon the submarine upon her
arrival at a British port today.
WASHINGTON, April 25.
The Navy Department received from England
late this afternoon a report that the American
steamship Mongolia had an encounter with a Ger
man submarine on April 19 and that the U-boat is
believed to have been sunk. No further details
were given in the cablegram. Until full informa
tion is received officials refuse to discuss the re
ported encounter.
Lieutenant Hrutv K. Wme, Jr., n junior nuvnl lieutenant, who was in
uliuiKc of the irun oiow on the Mongolia, is well known to naval officers stationed
at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
Licutcnnnt Ware formerly was attached to the collier Jupiter. He was
plnced in charge of the Mongolia's gun cew when she sailed for Europe. He
was appointed to Annapolis Naval Academy from Iowa on May 8, 1001, and is
111 tears old.
The Mongolia was built in Camden by the New York Shipbuilding Company
and is one of the largest passenger boats ever built in the United Stntcs. She
is (Jlfi feet long, developing speed of sixteen knots nn hour.
The Atlantic Transport Line owns the vessel, which is a screw-propelled
bteamship of lfi,638 gross tonnage, developing 12,000 horsepower. Her home
port is New York. She carries a crew of 1112 men.
In 1902 the Mongolia's keel was laid in Camden on, order of the Atlantic
Transport Line. While she was on the ways tho boat wan sold to the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company, but befoie completion she was resold to the Atlantic
Line. She was delivered in February, 1904. About one year ago the Atlantic
line purchased her for use between New York and London,
The Atlantic Transport Line is a subsidiary of the International Mercan
tile Marine, in which Philadolphians have large interests.
The Mongolia left New York eleven days ngo with a caigo of war sup
plies for the Allies, valued at $8,000,000. She carried no passengers.
This was not the first time that the Mongolia has had adventures with
a German craft. On a pievious voyage the steamship was chased by a German
raider, but outdistanced her.
While in the Pacific service the Mongolia plied between San Fiancisco and
Seattle and Japanese and Chinese ports. Her crew was recently increased by
the addition of forty officers and men from the United States navy to man the
guns on board.
