I., July 22. (I.N. S.). An unconfirmed report was circu lated here today that a German sub marine was sunk six milea off Fire Island after being bombarded by air i planes. The report said the U-boat was sighted by an airplane fljing from Montauk. Rear Admiral Usher, commandant of the Third Naval District, at noon discredited the report. By the Associated Press Portland, Mr., July 21 All those on the Gloucester flshinE schooner Robert and Ulcharri, sunk In a German submarine off the Maine coast Monday, had been accounted for todav There were twenty-three persons on the vessel Three men were landed at Ken , nebunkport and eleven at this port last night. Four more were brought In here today and four men and a boy vveie picked up at sea and taken to Boston. Boston, July 24 Officials of the Klrt Naval District made eer effort totla to locate the enemy submarlno operating off the New England coast. Following word of the slnklnpr of the Robert and Richard on Mondiy, sea planes, submarine chasers and other craft were order out to supplement the regular coast patrol and protect ship ping. It was realized that the submarine ' had plenty of time to trael many miles lnce It was last seen. At that tlrn the boat was headed south and it would not surprise tnaval men to hear thut It had bobbed up somewhere along thp Massachusetts coast or farther south Naval, and marine men were inclined to the opinion that only one submersible has been In New Hngland waters, but descriptions given by the crews of the sunken craft would Indicate that there were two SIcn aboard the barge at tacked off Cape Cod on Sunday teported the submarine to be 400 feet long, while the fishermen of the Robert and Rich ard placed the length of the U-boat at 250 feet The barges were attacked without ' warning, but the crew of the fishing schooner was given time to leave the ship , . CAPTAIN DESCRIBES SINKING OF SCHOONER Portland, Me., July 24. Captain Wharton's story of the sinking of the Robert and Richard follow: "We had finished fishing on the west' em banks Friday and were heading for Boston. Shortly before noon Monday we "saw the submarine coming up astern from the north. We made her out at least two miles distant. She was fol lowing a zjg-zag course, and after look ing her over we concluded she was an American patrol boat. We dldn t pay much attention to her after that, until Bhe had worked up to within a mile or so of us when she sent a shot over our bow. We tumbled Into the dories, leav ing six of them on deck "As soon aB the German came up with in hailing distance three men the com mander, first officer and seaman came on deck. The first officer ordered us to send a boat alongside I went over In my boat and rowed the three Germans to the schooner and boarded her with them. s "Both officers spoke good English, but had little to say. "The first officer, however, loosened up a bit. He went down Into the cabin to get the ship's papers, and the American flag I kept there. "When he came up on deck he said, This Is the second American flag I have now. I have one In my summer home In Maine, and I'll keep this to go with It. some day." , "I opened my eyes at this statement, and asked him if he lived In Maine. He had lived In America a long time, ho told me, and had had a summer home in Maine since 1896. He was a mg chap He and the sailor wore working clothes and were a rather rough-looking lot. The captain was the only on,e In uniform. I didn't see any others of the crew. "The first officer superintended the placing of the bomb. "Drey sank it over the side with a lead and swung it in under the keel after setting a time fuse. BATHER DROWNS IN CREEK Kfanld-Be Rescuer Nearly Loses t Life, Also 1 RtTcrild.
