Of the 81 persons picked up from

When the Ericsson dropped anchor Ad
miral Olcnves, commanding the destroy
er flotilla, ordereil health ofiiccrs
aboard to examine passengers and crew
from the tstephnno.
The youngest passenger aboard was
little brown-eyed Warren Driscoll, of St.
Johns. Warren is four mouths old. With
13 other babies ho is safe ashore today
after an experience, the thrill of which,
may never be repeated though he may
live to be a gray haired man. Miss
Elizabeth Butler, of St. Johns, telling
of her experience, said:
"I lost everything I owned except
what I've got on. My God, it was aw
ful! "We hod just sat down to supper
when suddenly we heard a shot. Some
one called that the ship had been fired
upon. Then I heard the captain yell
to everyone to get. their life preservers
on- I went below deck and put on a life
belt and life preserver. There was uo
time to pick up belongings. The of
ficers urged the utmost haste. As we
went over the side we knew for cer
tain that a submarine had stopped our
ship, though some of the passengers
could even then hardly believe it. I
lost $150, all the money I have been
able to save."
Kitty Trumblett, of St. Johns, said
she had started to lew York for a holi
day. She also lost all of her money
and her visions of an outing were shat
tered, but slie pluckily declared she
didn't care much."
A. C. Ticked, chief of the Stephano,
celebrated his third submarine sinking
when he was taken off the ship. He
was on the Marquette when she was
sunk without warning in the Dardnn
elles. The Marquette was a troop ship
and iickell was a soldier at that time
Shortly after this Tickett was on the
YOU
troop ship Manitou which was sunk off
Mnlta by a German submarine. The
chief was wounded this time. Comment-

Tickytd-only remark was:
No Loss of Life Reported
Newport, K. I., Oct. . A' total of
nine ships have been sunk by tierman
submarines up to an early hour this
morning, according to an officer of the
destroyer Kricsson, arriving here.
This officer suid he understood more
than one submarine was surely taking
part in the attueks. lie said information
at Nantucket was that two and possi
bly three submarines had been sighted.
His information was all from Nantuck
et and com inns the reports given out
there as to messages picked up from
wireless flushes. i
One report declares there were two
submarines tho U-53 which put ill at
Newport Saturday, and the U-54. An
other report mentions tffo U-Ul. There
is no way of establishing definitely how
many submarines are on the scene.
All latest information is that there
has been no loss of life. All passengerB
from the steamers which were sunk
hnvn hepn tnkitn nff tha 'iit,iikit
light ship and have been lauded or ure
en route to Newport aboard United
States destroyers. Passengers from the
Stephano, and crews of the Btrnthden,
the West Point, the Kingston, the
Hloomersdijk aud tho Christian Kud-i
son, were taken off during yesterday!
afternoon and late last night.

nieiit, after viewing a photograph of the
U-53 taken during tho lutter's hurried'
call at Newport Saturday, was taken i
as conclusive proof that more thiin onoj
Gorman submarine operated off the
New Knglaml coast over Sunday. j
Alter studying the photograph, both
officers and men said the ship hulling
them was different und that the men
aboard were not the sumo as those de
picted on the U-5;i. .
Tho submarine raider did not board
the Kansan. Instead, the German cap
tain hailed the vessel from deck, after
spotting her American flag, and the
U-boat dropped out of sight just us
iilirupctlv us it hud appeared, litter liv
ing shown the Minsan s papers, ami

I'i.UOU tons.
The theory that there is more than
one submarine off tho coast was also
borne out by the story told by Captain j
E. 1.. Smith ot the Kaiisau. . .
Smith declared he had hardly de
parted from the V-bont which held hUu
up when he heard the call of the steam
er West Point saying slits had been
fuel on. The West Point was some ins
tance away. Captain Smith said:
Examined Her Papers
"I left New York uf 10 it. in. Satur
day ami arrived II miles off the. Nun-
tucket lightship ut 4:3."i Sunday inorn

German submarine wus even in llio vi
cinity was when 1 heard u shot lired
across the Kansan 's bows. I immedi
ately ordered the engines stopped, but
before we could come to n standstill
there was a second shot. We came to
a stop within a few minutes. 1 then
siirhled the submarine for the first time
She was a short distance away ami an
officer hailed the Kah';nn from the
bunt. He asked lor or papers. I imme
diately put over n boat with Second Of
ficer .Mc.Nuiiiaia in charge, ne rowru
to the submarine, ami presented onr pu
llers. They were carefully examined and
MciNumni'tt was tout we coum irui-r.-...
An hour after we were first stopped e
were under way again.
" Heliire we cutild net along, however,
the submarine disappeared beneath the
ivnves. ilivniL' nut of smht ns sucntenij
as she had appeared. We hud hardly
left the I'-bont until I heurd the wire
less cull of the West Point, saying she
was being attacked by n submarine. I
put the Kunsun about ami started to
her assistance; iieinre we n K"""
we learned thai the United States, de
stroyers were within striking distance
so 1 changed my course again and pro
ceeded to Huston."
Captain Smith could not explain how
the submarine commander happened to
permit him lo tiuue his voyage. He
admitted the Kansan was carrying con
triilirnnil ami was under charter by lh
French government.
