Vessels Added To U Boats Toll Off U S Coast
Night report says German raiders sank the Norwegian steamer Eidsvolde forty miles off the Virginia Capes. The crew was rescued by a navy supply ship. No further news on German movements within thirty hours of the attack. Raiders had moved south from the New Jersey coast. The Eidsvold was hit closer inshore than before, as mines and inshore attacks continued near the Delaware Capes. The tanker Pratt was likely struck by a mine, with several unexploded mines recovered by patrol craft. The French tanker Radioleine was unsuccessfully attacked near Maryland at 9:30 yesterday morning.

Reports say submarines avoid armed ships and operate near coastal waters as U-boat commanders follow German rules of cruiser warfare. The Eisvold sinking, ships’ survivors, and details about the raiders' craft, including a 800-ton standard type and a 200-foot vessel, are pieced from naval notices and survivor accounts. The purpose of the raid remains unclear.
