Show ANOTHER SHIP SENT DOWN. Germans Sink Norwegian Steamer Off Cape May. Cape May. Nineteen survivors of the Norwegian steamer Vinland, sunk Friday morning by a German submarine, sub-marine, forty-six miles off Cape May, were landed here late Friday afternoon after-noon by a torpedo boat destroyer. The survivors,-- all members of the Vinland's crew, were taken to the hospital at Wissahickon barracks. The destroyer that picked them up was a new boat, and was on her trial trip. The members of the crew were mostly most-ly Swedes and Norwegians and speak little English. It was gathered from them that the Vinland was northbound north-bound with a cargo of sugar. The coast was fog-bound, and there were showers and squalls when the U-boat made Its appearance. |
