CompRS nil IN SUBMARINE Three British and Two Neutral Vessels Sent to the Bottom. Attack Made Off Nantucket Shoals. Newport, R. I., Oct. ! .? It was reported early today that a seventh ship had been sunk. Her identity was unknown but destroyers were searching for her. Boston, Oct. 8.?The submarine arm )f the Imperial German navy ravaged shipping off the eastern coast of the United States today. Four British, one Hutch and one Norwegian steamer were sent i<> the lottom or left crippled derelicts olf Nlantucket shoals. Tonight, under the light of the hunter's moon, the destroyer flotilla of the Jnited States Atlantic Heel was pick ng up passengers and crews of the lest roved vessels and bringing them nto Newport, II. I. So far as known there was no loss if life, though at a late hour the crew f the British steamer Kingston had lot been accounted for. A submarine held up the American learner Kansan. bound from New fork for Genoa with steel for the talian government, but later, on esablishing her identity, allowed her to iroceed. The Kansan came into Boson harbor late tonight for her usual all here. The h ostile submarine is relieved to e the U-53, which paid a ' .ill to Newort yesterday and disappeared at unset. Some naval men, however, eclared that at least two submarines re operating close to the American bore, though outside the three mile mit. The record of submarine warfare, s brought to land by wireless disatehes, follow: The Ships Attacked. The ?K.l -t- l. . .... uuauiuciic, in man ireiKiilC! , orpedoed and sunk off Nantucket, 'rew taken aboard Nantucket shoal ? ghtshio and later removed to Newort by torpedo boat destroyers.

The Stephano, British passenger ner, plying regularly between New ork, Halifax and St. Johns, N. I'., orpedoed southeast of Nantucket, rhile bound for New York. Reported till afloat late tonight. Passengers nd crew, numbering about 140, were * licked up by the destroyer Drayton nd brought to Newport. The ataek was made at 4:.'l0 p. m. Searching for Crew. The Kingston, British freighter, v.?redoed and sunk southeast of Nanucket. Crew missing and destroyer earching for them. This vessel is ot accounted for in maritime ogiseis, and may he the Kingstonian. The ittack occurred at (? n. m. Rilomersdiik, Dutch freighter, tor>edoed and sunk south of Nantucket Yew taken aboard a destroyer. The iteamer was bound from New York to Rotterdam, having sailed last night. The Chr Knusden, Norwegian 'reighter, tornedoed and sunk near vhere the Bilomersdijk went down. >PW niplfprl lin Kv lUeirnttAHo vessel sailed from New York Sa> irday for London. The sensation created yesterdav vhen the U-53 quietlv slipped into Newport harbor and as quietlv slipped nvay three hours later, was less than he shock in shipping circles when vireless report of submarine attacks >egan to come into the naval radio stations just before dav today. Air Filled With Warnings. Within a few minutes the air was iterall.v charged with electricity a< wireless messages of warning were broadcasted along the coast. The submarine, or submarines, had taken a pos-Jtion directlv in the steamer lanes where they could hardly miss anything bound in for New York, or bound east from that point. Vessels of the Entente Allied nations and neutral bottoms carrying contraband of war scurried to get within the three-mile limit of the American shore. Several that were following the outside course shifted and made for the inside lane. The Stephano. of the Red Cross Line, however. was caught outside the neutral gone. The destruction of this vessel was perhaps the hi"gest prize of the lay. The craft had been sold to the Russian government and would have been used as an ice-breaker after her present trip. Throughout the day and un to late tonight none of the patrolling fleet maintained by the British and French to protect their own shippintr and American ships carrying munitions C war had been sighted. Frantic appeals were sent to Italifax, but for a time the commander of the British naval station there refused to divulge what steps were being taken to meet the submarine attack. BOX SUPPER.
