' "'wl I GERMAN U-BOATS' ATTEMPT TO MINE MOUTH OF DEL A WARE FOILED BY U."s:nA VAL AUXILIARl k GERMANS MINED DELAWARE BAY Sweepers Pick Up 8 and Explode Two Others by Rifle Fire PRATT DUE HERE TODAY From a'Staff Correspondent Lewes, Del., June 5. German submarines operating along the Atlantic coast have mined the waters adjacent to the mouth of the Delaware river, according to tvell au thenticated reports received here. Eight of the enemy's mines have , been picked up at the mouth of the MDelaware by American mine sweepers. Two others were exploded by rifle fire. Search for the mines was made late, yestei'da'y as a result of an examina tion of the hull of the Standard Oil Company tanker Herbert L. Pratt, sunk Monday off the Delaware Break water, which led to the belief that the had not been torpedoed. Lewes slept more peacefully last night than at any time since last Saturday. The presence of one of the fastest destroyers of the Amer ican Navy, Just inside the Breakwater had much to do with returning con fidence and a feeling of safety. Every movement of small craft In side the breakwater is made under the closest scrutiny of naval author ities here. Several motorboats which cttme over from Cape May late yes terday, were not permitted to return. Martial law, which had been In force at Cape May for the last twenty four hours, was lifted this morning. It was said. Pratt Due at Philadelphia Today The Pratt has been raised and brought inside the treakwater, almost twenty-four hours after Laving been sunk. She proceeded, this morning, for Philadelphia under her own 'steam. The survivors of the Carolina landed here by the British steamer Appleby were: Passengers, Belmont Von Jenney, New York; Gabriel N- Rlnach, San Juan; James M McCaffrey, New York ; Andres Sanchez, San Juan ; Juan Jose Emanuelll. Guayamllla, P. R. ; Jose B. Illanes, Ponce, P. R, and William Virelia and Enrique G, Pulg, of San Juan Members of crew. Richards Law rence, Emanuel N. Debenedltty, Thomas Yanga, Josef Venltez, Lorenzo Romaro, Trygue Weir, George Howard, steward, and Christian Nelsen, chief deck en gineer. ' All of these were In one lifeboat of which Nelsen was In charge. Nelsen particularly praised the conduct of Welg and Howard. Upon their arrival here, bringing none of their, belqngtngs except tne scanty clothing they wore, the survivors were taken In charge by officers from the naval station. Later their Immediate wants were supplied by D W. Burbage & Co , steamship agents or Lewes, who furnished them transportation to New York After they had told their version of the disaster to the naval authorities, most of the sun Ivors were permitted to leave on an early afternoon train. This morning only Von Jenney and Nelsen, who were detained by the naval authori ties, were still here. Nelsen. who had his first experience -A on a torpedoed ship when the American 3 steam Gulfllght was sunk May 1, 1315, told the story of the Carolina's destruc tion here today "At 6 30 o'clock Sunday night," he said, "the submarine came upon ub un aware and fired three shells across our bow. We hove to and then the U-boat signaled us to take to the lifeboats We lost rib time In obeying the order, we were then about 100 miles off Scot land Light Ship "Most of the passengers were at din ner at the time. There was an entire absence of panic ; every man of the crew wan at his station and In a very few mlnut's everybody had been taken off. "By that time the U-boat had ap-' proached within 200 yards of us and we rould see her plainly. She must have been 250 feet longt she was flying the German flag and had guns mounted fore and aft. ' "On leav Ing the ship. J. was in No. 5 lifeboat with Captain Barbour; when It became evident that the men in No. 1 boat, which was a motorboat, could not handle it properly, I was transferred to take charge. We then took No. 5 boat In tow. "We had drawn away from the Carolina about a mil and a. half when Fthe 'submarine circled In close around the ship, apparently to make certain no one, had been left on hoard; then she launched a torpedo, which struck our veC". amidships. A few minutes later heVld seven shells Into the steamer, Jihlcfi went down with her flag flying twenty minutes after the torpedo struck ler. "In a little while it was dark and rain began to fall: with the rising of the. wind, the hawser by which we were towing No 5 boat snapped. AH the 1 other boats had been lost sight of In the darkness; we never saw them again. Boat Upsets In Storm "We recovered 'No. 5 b'oat with great dlfncUfty, but a few minutes later the hawser broke again, and that was the last, of her. There were thlrty-flve persons on board her. Including Captain Barbour. I do' not know whether he was' among the .thirty later picked up. "In the middle of the night the squall struck us with, .all Its force and our boat turned over. I don't like to recall the, horror of what followed, the cries and, screams and useless struggling in the water,. every man for himself and the 'women, too Fortunately all of us had on life belts br none would have survived, t "We'clung desperately to the sides of the"u"pturried boat. and, after what seem ed like ages., a toss of the sea righted her again. Miss Nleves and myself man aged to climb Inrbut the boat waa so full of,waerthat we had to ball It out With' our cupped hands before 'It was safe-to take any of the others aboard. "Those In the water, suffered terribly from the cold. By dayllgnt we had got ten seventeen of them Into the,boat.. The other, seven had succumbed and were floating- dead In the vicinity. Miss VIrella had i saved herself from going down byjclinglng to two pf the dead bodies, which helped keep her afloat. "Of course, we' had lost our food supply, but later In the morning we recovered some of It from the. sea and broke, our 'long fst with water-soaked ,. biscuit. ,. - F 'KM the time I had been;on the look- ' tmt.'ifor passing steamer.- At' 2:30 o'clock Monday .afternoon we sighted t' tApplby.

The thrilling rescue "of Miss VIrella, was followed by the girl's aln search for her 'sweetheart and-her brother, toth of whom were cast Into the waves when lifeboat JCo. 1 capsized In a storm soon after the boat left the sinking Carolina. Miss VIrella, seventeen years old, was saved after clinging all night to two men, who had also been cast overboard Curzo Santiago, her sweetheart, grad uated from a school of medicine In TWO MORE SCHOONERS SUNK BY U-BOATS OFF U. S. COAST Continued from rase One here. Distant reports, as of gunfire, were heard Oclals at the naval base and the Henlopen coast guard stations would neither confirm nor deny the report. A short .time before It was received de stroyers said to be on test runs Inside the breakwater threw a heavy smoke screen the length of the harbor, cutting off the view of the bay from shore Newspaper men were permitted to anDroach closely to the shore, and a tight censorship Is being enforced on all developments. Bel ef that a subhnarlne was capturea or sunk Is strengthened by reports of persons who arrived here from (-ape May this afternoon They tell of rumors that a U-boat was destroyed by a aeptn bomb dropped from a seaplane which had been soaring over the wares for hours. The 'plane returned to the naval base at Cape May. The destroier which has been pa- trollng off the capes since daj break-re turned to the Lewes naval station for a brief stay this afternoon as If to make some Important report Rear Admiral Wlnslow came to Lewes from Washington this afternoon to be gin an Investigation Into all the cir cumstances attending the submarine raid on coastwise commerce Late today Is was still uncertain that the schooner Desauss had been tor pedoed and abandoned off Cape Henlo pen, as reported from an official source this morning No such ship Is listed In the Maritime register; marine men thought the name might have been con fused with the French four-masted ship Desalx, which has not been reported at any port for several weeks. A steamship agency here denied that an abandoned schooner had been found The report aro,, they said, from the discovery of the wrecked stern of the Crowell and Thurldw schooner Horatio G Foss, of Boston, which was recently In collision near the same spot with the U S collier Jupiter. The Foss Is now at Cramps' shipyard In Philadelphia for repairs Two more vessels are reported to have been sunk In a raid twenty miles off Cape May The identity of the vessels reported sunk off Cape May Is not known. They are reported to have been small schoon ers. Coast guards are said to have confirmed the report of the sinkings, and fishermen returning to port this morning reported the sea full of float ing oil several miles off Care May Tolnt No vessels are allowed In the waters of he mouth of the Delaware today Mines have been placed and all ships are ordered Into the harbor of refuge until further notice Upon arrival at Cape May, those aboard the May S , the Evenino Ponuc LEDGER'S special boat in the submarine area, under command of Captain Adam fcmlth, were told It had passed through one of the most danger ous fields of mines ever laid. They were ordered not to venture out again. About one mile from the Delaware Breakwater, two camouflaged mine sweepers were steaming side by side at a distance of 100 yards apart Near them was a naval vessel She seemed to cut across the bow of the May S , and as she did so the red burgee pennant of danger broke from the mast halyards. The May S turned back Into the port, but after a conference aboard ship the three occupants.

Another new victim has been added to the German U-boit list In American coastal waters. It Is the American auxiliary schooner Samuel G. Mengel. News of the sinking of the schooner was brought here today when the Danish steamship Paris arrived from Central America wltri eleven members of the Mengel's crew.. The Mengel .was sunk,Sunday by a, submarine 175 miles south of Sandy Hook. Ward liner Morro Castle, en route to a North Atlantic port, put Into a, South Atlantic 'port today, according,, t advices received here late this afternoon by the Ward Line officials. The Morro Castle carries 150 passengers. It ts not known whether a U-boat was responsi ble for the Morro Castle putting Into port, as the dispatch carried no details. FRENCH STEAMSHIP ATTACKED BY U-BOAT; SAVED BY DESTROYER Washington, June 5. A destroyer reported to the Navy Department last night that she had Interrupted an enemy submarine at tack on the French steamship Radio lelne", sixty-five miles off the Mary land shore, at a:3u ociock m tna morn ing and had found the American schooner Edward R. Baird, Jr., In a sinking condition, having been bombed. The dispatch gave no details of the Interrupted attack on the Radlo Je,lne. A later report announced the arrival of the French steamship at an American ' port. Two men were rescued from the Baird, which was a small coasting schooner of 279 tons. The Carolina was sunk by the U-37. Reports to the Navy Department, iden-. tify the U-boat which sank the Hattle Dunn, the Edna, the Haupauge and the WlnneConne. first of the series of eleven, as the U-51. There has-been no development to Indicate definitely that more than two submarines 'have been at wprk. , Reports from survivors of the Radio lelne also settled the fact that during the day at least two submarines werp at work In American-waters. They are the U-37 and the U-Sl.-'and a 're port to the Navy Department shows that one of-them at-.least had "stores to last three months. PATROUBO ATS .SEARCH ' OVER WIDESEA AREA Cape May.

The attitude taken by the people ot the tow n Is good-humored. Almost with out exception they seem to believe that the submarines are on the way either to Germany or to Mexico. The best natured man In town Is the acttng chief of police, Jefferson Gibson, but' he be came excited when the sailor .sentries forced him off the Boardwalk. "If that's not mattlal law I don't know what It is." Gibson asserted, and an excited Philadelphia correspondent Jumped to the conclusion that the town Is "virtually under martial law," Mohican Here; Nantucket Safe Continued from Tart One circles today when her safe arrival at a southern port was announced The boat was due to land at Spruce street pier yesterday and it was feared that she had fallen a victim to the German ca raid ers. The Nantucket was bound for Phila delphia from Jacksonville and Savan nah with passengers and a valuable cargo. Her crew number thirty. It Is believed by officials of the com pany that either the passengers will be sent to Philadelphia by train or else will come to the city in the ship. The Nantucket In such case will be con voved to the mouth of the Delaware. The tanker Herbert L Pratt was tctved Into the Delaware Breakwater and later put to sea again One report said she was gone to Philadelphia j an other that she was bound up the coast Huron and Mohawk Seek Haven The Clyde liner Huron, which was only fifteen miles astern of the Ill-fated Pratt when she was attacked, put Into port yesterday to escape the U-boat menace. She was on her way from Jacksonville to New York, and ninety passengers were sent to their destina tion by train. Captain Packer, of the Huron, reported that the Clyde liner Mohawk Is also In an Atlantic harbor He also reported sighting two small schooners, bottoms up, In his trip up the coast. Whether they had been torpedoed or not the cap tain could not ascertain, as there was no wreckage In the vicinity. One of the small schooners was sighted northeast of Hog Island Light, off the Virginia coast. Its rudder was all right and there was no damage to the bot tom. There were no boats or wreckage in the vicinity' Another of the wrecked schooners was sighted by the officers of the Hu ron three miles oft Cape Henlopen lighthouse. The head was down and stern up About thirty feet of the keel showed above the water. Whether these were victims of the submarine or not. Captain Packer said he was unable to ascertain The wreck off the Virginia coast was reported to him before he sighted it Paatencera Unaware of Ferll The passengers of the Huron knew nothing of the presence of submarines unui landed at Pier 3 Worth Wharves The first news of the presence of under sea .coats was caught by the wireless operator when the Huron was north of Cape Hatteras. When nearlng Cape Henlopen cannonading was heard and a flash of light seen, and It was decided to seek Philadelphia as a harbor of refuge and take no more chances One of the paosengers on the vessel was arrested before he left the pier by agents of the Department of Justice, charged with Impersonating a Federal officer. The prisoner, some of the pas sengers said, was demented when he boarded the vessel at Jacksonville. Oth ers said he loct his mind coming up the river when the first news of the sub marine raid was told him. Vessels Scarry Into Port Fear of falling victims to the Ger man submarines raiding the Atlantic coast brought not only the Huron, but also the Merchants and Miners' LJne steamship Ontario, bound from Boston to Norfolk, scurrying Into port The Ontario had also been warned by wire less of the presence of the U-boats. It was shortly after eight o'clock last night when the Ontario, carrying sixty passengers, poked hef nose into the pier at Spruce street. AU the pastnngers, as well as the officers and crew of the llher, were Jubilant that they had sue, cessfully eluded the Germans. The Ontario, according to F. A.

Not rn.ore than-one day before the first reports of Gertnan sub marines were received a Danish vessel, outward bound from Philadelphia, stopped, at the Breakwater 'after several shots had been fired across her bow by a submarine patrol boat. On her was an American pilot, who could not understand why she would not 'stop until the most drastic measures had been Imposed by the harbor craft. Early In the morning the Dansh vessel, or as such she was camou flaged, put out to sea without notifying the naval station at Lewes. Since that time no vess61 has reported sighting anv such steamship. Because of her precipitate departure on lb" night of tho first submarine nlarr. naval officers are anxious to find her There Is no doubt In the minds of naval men on the coast that the German raids are well-planned attacks 'which have been concerted with movements of supply ships and the information lines of the enemy U-Boats The pilot aboard the Danish vessel was put off after she left with out permission.
