Show LINERS ATTACKED BY SUBMARINES Three Trans-Atlantic Steamships Steam-ships Report Engagements With Germans Off Atlantic Coast. AN ATLANTIC PORT, July 29 Three trans -Atlantic liners which arrived ar-rived here today reported having been attacked by German submarines each of them when about 200 miles off the Atlantic coast in latitude 38.35, longitude longi-tude 70.40. All three vessels by superior su-perior speed escaped undamaged after a running fight which lasted several hours. The master of another vessel in port today said that three days ago wireless wire-less calls were caught by his ship coming from a vessel in plain sight asking for assistance, but which upon closer observation proved to be a submarine sub-marine with telescopic masts and which in many respects was made to imitate a sailing vessel in a sinking .condition. |
