Three Norwegians Added to List of U Boat Victims
The Norwegian ships Hanskinck Storskog and Ida were sunk by German submarines with losses to the crews. Hanskinck, 2,667 tons, had left New York for Rotterdam. Ida, 1,172 tons, was built in Aberdeen in 1883. Two survivors from Storskog were picked up from a steamer after the submarine submerged. Gunfire killed the chief mate and steward on Ida as the submarine shelled the vessel without warning. Military action featured a British push north of the Somme along the Ancre, while Berlin claimed mixed gains north of the Ancre and near Peronne.
