SUBMARINE SIGHTED
Ship Bremen, or Possible American Vessel Lost in
Newport News, VA., August 26. — Captain M. F. Wade, of the steamer Edward K. Pierce, which arrived here tonight, reports passing a submarine off Winter Quarter Light at 5 o'clock this morning. The Pierce spoke to the submarine, asking her identity, but received no answer. Captain Wade says. The submerged was heading south by southwest. Whether the submarine is the Bremen or one of the United States undersea craft encaged in the merchant marine off the coast is not known here.
Captain Wade says that the submarine loomed out of the semidarkness off the starboard beam of the steamer. The light was insufficient for Captain Wade to get a clear view of the submarine. Both craft continued on their way.
An English cruiser is hovering well off the coast, according to shippers arriving here within the past ten days or two weeks. Virginia pilots, however, say that no foreign warships have been sighted by them off the capes since a short time after the departure of the Peutschland. Marine men here believe, however, that allied warships again will not make the mistake of letting their presence off the capes be known if they can prevent it.
May be U. S. Navy.
