Tins raiders are probably from 200 to 300 feet in length, of from 00 .tn 1000 tons, and probably capable i ot carrying rather more supplies than E4th usual 800-ton type.

PATROL BOATS SEARCH COAST FOR 16 SURVIVORS OF CAROLINA Passengers and Members of Crew Lost or Still Adrift in Small Boats Atlantic City Proves Real Samaritan. Philadelphia Shriners Aid from a Staff Correspondent Atlantic City. June 5. Vigorous search of the New Jersey coast is being made today for sixteen persons who are missing from the steamship Carolina. Survivors believe the missing -men, who include mem bers of the crew and passengers, are still adrift at sea. Thev were last seen drifting in the direction of Lewes, Del., but did not land there. Patrolboats which scoured the lower! Jersey coast during the night re-' turned this morning with no word of them. All of the survivors, who are being cared for at the hotels, private homes and at the city hospital, are doing well. They were cheered considerably this morning by the arrival of rela tives and friends from nearby cities, who came to offer any aid possible. Shore People Praised Visitors to Atlantic City were em phatic in their praises of the resi dents for their hospitality to the suf ferers. Tha authorities were also warmly commended for the expedi tious manner In which they gave aid and comfort. In their endeavors to check up the Uhts to determine the number unaccounted for. Mavor Bach arach and other officials learned that many of the survivors had been taken Into private homes quietly by humane residents. Many of these real Samar itans got in touch bv wire and with relatives of the sufferers and sum moned them here. To show his appreciation of the hospitality extended to the survivors, Mayor Bacharach sent the following message today to State Senator E. A. Wilson, chairman of the Atlantic City Branch of the Red Cross: "In view of the snlendid spirit of hospitalltv extended bv the people of Atlantic City, and especially by your organization, to the survivors of the Carolina and other ships sunk by the German submarine, I wish to express my gratification. "The strangers washed to our shores as the result of the merciless attack of the enemy found themselves in a haven of real Americanism. "While it has a universal reputation as 'the playground of the world," Atlantic City has proved through the deeds of. Its residents durlnn the last two days that real devotion for the welfare of mankind lies beneath the pleasures which abound here. - "I wish to thank not only the men but the women also, for the spirit of kindness and loyalty which was shown in most practical form for the suf ferers brought to our gates. The unanimous response from those in all walks of life to aid those who roae in the very shadow of death was in keep ing with the patriotic spirit of the day. "The homes of the rich and poor, the hotels and city Institutions ex tended the hand of sympathy without delay, which proves better than mere words that Atlantic City may always be relied upon to do ts share during this great worm crisis in tne cause , of humanity.

For the first time since their some what thrilling arrival here, twentv one members of the crew of the Carolina took a bracing walk on the uoarawaiK early tnis morning. They were considerably refreshed by their stay last night at the Morris Guards Armory, and there was little to indl cate in their ceneral appearance that they had had such a close call for life. The men were cheered heartily during the course of their walk. The women survivors at the City Hospital are also greatly improved to day. They include Miss Charlotta Perkins, of Boston; Miss Caroline D. Hlgglns, of Cambridge, Mass.; Miss Gertrude Luciana, of Porto Rico; Mrs. P. J. Hamilton and Miss Carlotta Hamilton, wife and daughter of Chief Justice Hamilton, of the Supreme Court of Porto Rico. Physicians at the hospital this morn ing said the conditions of all were very favorable. As the survivors disembarked the Lu Lu Temple Shriner Band of Phila delphia played "The Star Spangled Banner." Nothing more dramatic ever was witnessed on that stage of spectacles. Atlantic City's gleaming beach. For weary hours ten3 ot thousands, deeply stirred by the tragedy of the sugar steamship Texel, whose skipper and crew landed here at midnight, had been watching the sea for signs of small boats containing fugitives from U-boat outrages. Shortly before 2 o'clock Edmund Shaw, a Boardwalk policeman, de tected a boat In the offing. As It drew nearer thousands on the Boardwalk gave way to frenzied enthusiasm. Beach guardsmen drove their white skiffs seaward to meet the slowly moving ship's long boat, lifting the women and children over the side into their lighter craft to hurry them to the beach. The Shriners' Band parad ing down the Boardwalk from the Im perial Shriners' meeting hall, Joined the crowd. "Women First" Is Rule While the band struck up the "Star Spangled Banner" as a greeting, mem bers of the Lu Lu Patrol, in their splendid uniforms, and hundreds of men. women and boys fully clothed rushed waist deep into the tide to drag tne ooat upon the beach. First the women, then the two chil dren tenderly were lifted out and car rled by ready hands to the beach. Sev eral of the former were in an almost complete state of exhaustion. The men sprang ashore in all kinds of makeshift garments, some of them with tears of Joy in their eyes. Tha great crowd cheered time and again, As soon as the crowd caught the meaning of the piece of rag that flut tered from the prow of the boat from a broken oar. realization came upon khe thousands and they threw off their patriots.

The effect of this spectacle upon the multitude that was Jammed In a cordon about tho waifs was mag ical. Women and men alike Joined in tin devotions, while others of the sterner sex wept openly.

Women took off their wraps and handed them eagerly to their sisters, who had been robbed of raiment In the hurry to leave the doomed ship. Then, led by Lieutenant .J. J. Mc Laren, one of the Carolina's officers, who had charge of the lifeboat, ilie little cavalcade walked to the Board walk. Eager hands sprang to aid the vic tims, automobiles and hotel busses were impressed Into service and the castaways taken into the hostelrles and given warm drink and plenty of food. Mayor Bacharach was apprised of the arrival of the lifeboat. He reached the shore and ordered that the armory be thrown open for the reception of the survivors and that nothing be per mitted to disturb them. He also sent the following message to Secretary Daniels: "T.ifehoat Vn s e .i..m. ,-. Una. sunk by sheliflre from m.hmaHne' reached this city at 1:45 o'clock this auernoon in charge of Lieutenant J.

Two women, weary-eyed, spent to their last Inch of resistance, fell to the sand In a dead faint. Motherly women wept as they knelt beside them and bathed their faces to restore them. A police patrol wagon and pri vate motors hurried the women of the survivors' party to an uptown hotel, where the survivors of the Texel were housed today by the Government.

Lieutenant John J. McLaren, of 442 Sterling place, Brooklyn, chief engi neer of the Carolina, brought ashore the precious load of human freight, one of the ten that left the liner in as many boats nbout sunset on Sun day night. Sharing the responsibility with him was T. A. Mertz, second purser. "We had Just started for dinner," said Mrs. Westbrook, "when shells screamed a warning across the front of the ship. I can't describe how 1 felt when the realization came upon us that we were being attacked with out warning by a submarine. "I flung my arms about my daughtef and held her .close. All sorts of fears assailed me. I thought of the women and children of France and Belgium and It was maddening. "Then another shell came. Shrapnel, they said It was. It splintered some thing forward. , "Our ship had no arms and the cap tain ordered the engines stopped. Something grated along the side. It was a large boat from the submarine. Given Time to Escapo "The officer in command spoke very good Knglish. He told the captain, who met him at the top of the ladder, he would give us time to get off be fore he sank the ship. He examined the ship's papers and then waited with his men, who were heavily armed. "The captain watched while the boats were being filled and lowered. There were more than 200 passengers and more than a hundred In the crew. The women and children, of course, went first. The crew, although many of them could not speak English, acted splendidly. "Ten boats were filled and we pulled away from the ship. I shall never see anything like it again. Yet, 'in tensely dramatic as it was, it all seemed unreal. "The crew of our boat pulled clear and we could see the lights of the other boats bobbing up and down on the waves. Every rnlnute we thought the Germans were going to shell us. "We had got away possibly fifty vards when there was a blinding flash. I don't know whether they shelled, bombed or torpedoed the Carolina, but she went down. "in the night we were separated from the other boats. Lieutenant Mc Laren and Chief Purser Mertz looked after m. "But- In spite of the fact that the Germans got our ship, wo have a Joke on them. On board were a num ber of United States nrmv officers. When they found that a German sub marine had held us up they hurried to their staterooms, shook their uni forms and came up on deck In any kind of clothes they could find. No doubt the Germans would have liked to have them for prisoners. That thought of how they had been fooled cheered is mightily." Mrs. Westbrook left her husband In St. Thomas. Several of the men wore blue chain bray shirts like Chinamen when they stepped ashore. These shirts came from a bundle found afloat on the sea Sunday morning. Girl Survivor Penniless Miss Gertrude Luciano, ot San Juan, landed here penniless. She Is on her wav to San Francisco and cannot speak English, The shore Red Cross is caring for her. Mrs. Hamilton, wife of Chief Justice Hamilton, of Porto Rico, took a philo sophical view- of her adventure. She had recently recovered from an opera tion and showed remarkable fortitude. She said: "Thu officer or the U-boat was as gentlemanly as one In Ids position could be." said Mrs. Hamilton. "He told us that we did not have to hurry and no effort was mado to hinder our getting away Into lifeboats. We had had lifeboat drill once on the way up, and we all knew where we were to go. We all started for our respective boats, and while evorybody hurried there did not seem to be any undue confusion. We got in and the boats were lowered away. "As we pushed away from the side of the ship the U-boat went around to the other side of the ship, and when the lifeboats had pulled out of the way they began shelling the steamer. Tp.v poured six shots into her side. One of the shells must have been an explosive, for pretty soon she began to burn and she was soon a roaring, teething mass of flames. She burned and remained afloat for probably an hour before she went down. "We picked up one of the boats which hud a motor in It and they towed us for a time. But the rope broke two or three times and then they went on and left us. The men pulled steadily nlglit and day. Wo had no Idea of what direction we should take. We had no compass and we had to steer by the sun by day and the stars by night. "We saw two or three steamers' lights and we sent up rockets and shouted ourselves hoarse, but they soon passed out of sight and our hearts kind of dropped again. We saw a sybmarine chaser early this morning and one of the women took off her underskirt and put it aloft on a boat hook. We shouted and shouted, but they evidently did not see or hear us, for they soon passed out of sight. Lights Are Welcome Sight "We sighted land, which later turned out to be Atlantic City, and never did I behold a more welcome sight. "We pulled and pulled and It seemed as though we should never make the shore. We were all wet and hungry and pretty fatigued. We had but little to cat and a limited quan tity of water, ana we were all pretty well cramped with twenty-nine per sons in that small uiwi, "AVe had a storm Sunday night soon after we had taken to the boats, and we were fearful that we should have a rough time of it, But Monday morn ing dawned clear and warm and. with a sea that was almost as smooth as glass, we fared better than we had dared' to hope.

Admiration Lillian Dickinson, of Arlington, Mass., Took Turn With Men in Landing Life Boat Atlantic City. N. .T.. June 6. Beneath the frowning gun of a super U-boat ten boatloads of Americans men, women and children stood up In their lifeboats and cheered for America as they left tho doomed Carolina on Sunday night. This ts the tale of patriotic vallance and ardor that Samuel Johnson and John Connelly, two of the survivors, told In the presence of Mayor Bacharach and other civic dignitaries at the Morris Armory. This splendid alleglanco In sight of the foe won even the admiration of tha German captain and crew, and as the boats rowed away from the doomed ship they waved their hands in farewell to the departing passengers. In the boats, Johnson said, were women who were still wearing their evening clothes. Men who had dressed for dinner had raced to the lifeboats Instead. Children stood with their elders, one of them, Anita Cheney, of New York, winning the unstinted pralso of both survivors as tho bravest child they ever knew. In some of the boat3 the Porto Rlcans, to whom the sight of the U-boat was a spectacle destined to wreck their morale, proved to bo plain Americans, too, and cheered with the others; stokers In dungarees and oil-blackened firemen waved their hats In unison with the more formal farewell given by Captain Barbour and his men. TJoal Largest of V Type All doubt as to the nature ot the undersea boat which has struck such a blow at Aiaerlcan shipping was wiped away by the stories of these survivors. Johnson, who has followed the sea, said that the type was the largest he had ever seen and that he believed It bigger than anything In tho American navy. "Manv of the women had come to the deck ready for dinner, with their evening clothes, and they wero piled Into the water, glad clothes and all. One little girl, the little Cheney child, was thrown into the water over her nead. But strug gled up and pulled herself by the pins to a seat. "The first boat lowered pulled toward the submarine, which was astern of the Carolina. On board were the captain and the crew of tho German sub, but it was so dark that I couldn't see tho number of the boat. Our lifeboat was being towed by a motorboat and we had some trouble with It, so wo couldn't join In the cheers for our country when the others did, but It didn't make any dif ference to the Germans, for they simply waved their hands at us. rnptaln Decent "The captain, too. was different from the other captains who have been sink Real Buckskin with Ivory or White Neolin Soles. for every one at the same $6 price, always $9 value. 1330 H. 1'K.NN SQUABK Opposite City Hall S, E.

When our boat got away from the Carolina we were directly under the aft gun, which was trained on .our ship. The captain shouted to us to get away and we misunderstood him. We thought he said get back, so we started to row to the vessel, but he repeated his order to get away and he walteu until we got out of danger. As we pulled to the westward he went to the starboard and fired two shells into the Carolina. Then he came back to the port side and fired another one. The ship went down by the head, but It was not for three hours afterward that she sunk com pletely. Even then we could see the flames bursting out all over the upper structure. "While I'm talking about this I want to say something about Miss Lillian Dickinson, that girl from Arlington, Mass.
