STEAMSHIP NEBRASKAN
STRUCK BY TORPEDO
Hold Fills With Water But
No Lives Were
Lost
WAS HIT AT POINT
NEAR IRELAND COAST
Thought in Washington She
May Have Struck a Floating
Mine.
|
Wh on the news reached this country
last Friday that the American Steamship
Nebraskan had been struck by a
torpedo while on her way to Delaware
Breakwater, while she was passing
not far from the coast of Ireland,
many took it to mean defiance from
Germany. Later a different view was
taken of the matter as the steamer
may have struck a floating mine plant
ed by the Germans in the war zone.
The following despatches about this
matter will explain details:
The Amprirnn stpnmor "NTr?hi*?cLr?i? >
Captain Greene, from Liverpool, May
24, for Deleware Breakwater, was torpedoed
Wednesday by a submarine
at a point forty miles west-southwest
of Fastnet, off the south coast of Ireland.
The sea was calm at the time. The
crew at once took to the boats and
stood by the steamer. It was soon ascertained
that the Nebraskan was not
seriously damaged. She had been
struck forward and her foreholds
were full of water. " ?
The crew returned on board and got
the vessel undor way. No lives were
lost among the crew. The Nebraskan
did not carry any passengers.
The News in Washington.
Coming close on the Lusitania disaster,
the news that the American
steamer Nebraskan had been endangered
aroused more than ordinary attention
in Washington, but all officials
were disposed to hear details before
making comment.
C? ?/* r 1 - 11 . '
uuuit; uiiaiui^ rouid not understand
why a ship bound for the United
States in ballast, and therefore carrying
no contraband, should have been
torpedoed. They considered it among
the possibilities that the Nebraskan
had struck a drifting mine.
Hound for Queenstown.
A message to Loyd's from Kinsale,
. Ireland, said that the Nebraskan passed
that point at 11 o'clock, apparently
bound for Queenstown.
The Nebraskan was down at the
bows. She was proceeding under her
own steam and flying the signal: "1
am not under control."
