An Atlantic Port— Evidence that an

here Saturday by two steamships
which during the morning picked up
wireless S. O. S. calls indicating that
a ship was being shelled by a U-boat
in the vicinity o f Nantucket lightship.
One ship receiving the distress calls
was a British freigh ter and the other
an American tanker.
Both reported
the scene o f the attack as about 60
miles east o f Nantucket and the time
about 8 o’clock Saturday morning. The
identity o f the submarine’s victim was
not learned by either vessel, as far as
is publicly known.
According to the commander o f the
British vessel, the messages received
by his wireless operator from the ship
said she was being shelled and report
ed her position, but only a part o f her
name could be heard — the word
“ A b b y,” which is the last name of
several ships in Atlantic trade.

Ediaon'a New Device Claimed to Have
Prevented I a *» o f Big Liner.
Washington, D. C. - I f America has
not aolvroi the submarine problem, it
has cut down the danger from it to a
tremendous extent, it was declared
here W e lnesday, through the torpedo
deflecting device invented by Thomaa1
A. Edison. Thia is said to have been
tried out effectively with torpedo boata
and to have been installed on several
liners.
The moat spectacular test o f the
device so far, it is declared, resulted
in saving a big American steamship,
which arrived in an Atlantic port
Tuesday. The passengers arriving on
the ship, including mime army officers,
who were not in the secret, asserted
that the mechanism o f the torpedo
went wrong just before it should have
struck the vessel.
The torpedo was described as having
leaped into the air and gone off on a
tangent when it rc-entcrod the water,
passing to the stern o f the ship.
This torpedo, it is confidently assert
ed here, was deflected by Mr. Ediaon’a
device which had been installed on
that ship and a few others. The work
o f installing the devices, which are
declared to be inex|wnsive, when the
service is taken into consideration,
will proceed with great rapidity.
Secretary o f the Navy Daniels de
clined to discuss the situation at all
when asked about it. Since arming o f
merchantmen it has been nect'ssary for
the submarine to expend a much larger
