AMERICAN PATROL SHIP FOUNDERS IN EUROPEAN WATERS WASHINGTON', Oct. 6. An American Ameri-can patrol thip foundered in European waters on the morning of October 4 while on duty. The navy department has no information infor-mation of the cause of the loss of the ship and has ordered an investigation. There was no loss of life. Further information of the incident, which was reported by Vice Admiral Sims, is being asked for by the navy department. The lost ship was an auxiliary, not one of the regular navy list, and was on mine sweeping work when lost. The report that she foundered is taken to mean she was lost in rough weather.
