liner Ryndam, which sailed from this
port yesterday for Rotterdam with
seventy-seven paasengera and a million-dollar
cargo, vii badly damaged
in a collision fifteen mllca southwest
of the Nantucket Shoals lightship at
4 o'clock this morning. The liner
collided with the tramp freighter,
Joseph J. Cuneo, which sailed from
Boston last night for Bsracoa, Cuba.
Both vessels were injured seri
ously. Tbe Ryndam, wireless re
ports indicate, was struck aft with
such force that hold No. 6 filled al
most Immediately and water flowed
freely into the engine room and be
gan to creep up in Hold No. 8. The
Cuneo'a bows were smashed in badly.
S. O. 8. signala were flashed from the
Ryndam and its passengers were trans
ferred hastily to the Cuneo. Cne hun
dred end sixty of the Ryndam's rrw ot
MO likewise were put aboard the freighter,
leaving only forty men aboard thv liner
to navigate it.
United fitates battleships In the vicinity
answered the wireless calls. At 7 o'clock
three hours after the collision, the battle
ship South Carolina waa standing a'ong
alde the Cuneo.

The Ryndam's passengers and those of
Its crew who hsd been transferred to the

wireless from the Newport navy yard to
convoy the at rick en liner to thla "ort.
With the South Carolina alongside, the

Cuneo slowly following, tho Ryndam was

land American line, Ita owners, saying
that the Ryndam's engines were much
strained, but still holding out.
Previous messages from Captain Van
dor Heuvet asserted thst the water waa
gaining In No. t hold and that the ship
would have to be abandoned if th water
gained much more. So far as the line
knew there were only six Americans
among the passengers. The other pas

NEW YORK. Msy 11-The American
Hawaiian Steamship company, owners
of the Nebraskan, received a wireleas
message from the Nobraakan's captain,
relayed by cable, In which the captain
aald the veeael had been atruck by either
a mine or a torpedo.
The text of the message, which waa
dated yesterday and algned by Captain
John 8. Green, was aa follows:
"Struck either . by mine or torpedo
forty-eight miles west of Faatnet, and
steaming to Liverpool. Water in' lower
hold. No one Injured."
The Nebraakan was under charter on
this trip to the White Star line of the
International Mercantile marine. It was
built at Camden. N. J , In l'i and la
registered at 4.W8 tons gross, 1,84 tons
net. It is 380 feet long. . feet beam,
has a depth of . 24.4 feet and waa built
with eight watertight bulkheads, Ita fuel

and waa fitted up to carry horses from

CROOK HAVEN, Ireland, May M.-II
waa learned today that a submarine was
aeen laat night off the southern coast of
Ireland. It waa aighted shortly after
p. m. near Galley Cove, which la Just
south of here end about ten mile from
rastnet. No connection has been estab
lished between thk Incident and the mis
hap to the steamer Nebraskan, which is
reported to have occurred shortly before
9 o'clock at a point about forty miles
from Faatnet.
A steamer was seen outside of Crook,
haven at about o'clock laat night. As
It approached la ths direction of Fsslnet
Ugaihouw two loud reporta of a run
eru heard, a boat In Ctoukhaven har-
tier went In the direction of ;ne steamer,
which put about and was lost to sight.
Several residents of Crookhavcn wont
along tlte shore, keeping a sharp lock
out. Thev aighted a submarine off Gal
ley Cove. One of the men on shore fired
two shots with a rifle at the men In
the conning tower of the submarine. The
submarine dived immediately.

unothnr American ship had betn en
dangered aroused more than ordinary
attention, but all officials were disposed
to hear detaila before making comment.
Pome officials could not understand why '
a ship bound for the United States in bal- i
last and therefore carrying no contra-
land should have been endangered by ,
a torpedo and they considered it among
the poeslhlllties that the Nebraskan
struck a drifting mine.
Secretary Rryan said the State depsrt-
rnent s Informstlon was much too meager i
; to permit the forming of an opinion. lie i
sstd s full report with details of the at
tack was expected soon.
The rinmaice to tl"e Nebraskan recalled
at once In official quarters the Oerman
government's aasuran-es presented by
Count Bernstorff to Secretary Bryan on
May 11 that submarine commanders had
been specifically Instructed not to harm J
neutrtl rersels not engaged in hostile
sets and that Germany would pay for
any damage to such ships In the war
sone.
"The Imperial German government."
said tlie communication, "has no Intention
of causing to be attacked by submarines
or aircraft such neutral ships of com
merce In the sone of naval warfare, or
definitely described In the notice of the
German admiralty staff on February 4,
last, as have been guilty of no hostile
act. On the contrary, most deftnlte In
structions repeatedly have been laaued
to German war vessels to avoid attacks
on such ships under alt circumstances.
Even when such ships have contraband
of war on board they are dealt with by
submarines solely according to the rule
of International law applying to prise
warfare."
fltataa of Nebraskaa.
The status of the Nebraskan under In
ternational law, brought out a variety of
discussion todsy when news was received
thst the vessel wss chartered to the
White Star line. Whether aunk by a
mine or a torpedo, a claim for damages
might raise complicated questions It wss
said. If the Nebraakan waa In the serv
he of a British concern, according to
previous discussion In such caaea It
would be a lawful prise liable to setsure
end condemnation. Chief Justice Chase
has held that "neutral vessels engaged In
belligerent trade or service, become Im
pressed with a belligerent character."
The Nebraskan was on lta way home to
fulfill a contract of its owners with the
United Ptates navy department to carry
coal from Newport News to San Fran
cisco. The agents were to have the Ne
braskan In Hampton Roada June S. it :
was not under charter to the navy but
wss to carry the coal as freight. !
The official and news dispatches on 1
the Nebraakan were communicated to
rresldont Wilson, but no comment wss
forthcoming from the White House. It
waa indicated that a full Investigation :
would be made as promptly aa possible.
The fact that Americans were aboard
the Nebraakan would require, under the
position taken by the United States, that
the vessel be given due warning and its
crew removed to a place of aafety before
destruction.
