Eleven Survivors From Torpedoed
U. S. Ship: Deliberately Sunk
Special to the “Telegraph”
WASHINGTON, June 10 (UP)—The Maritime Cominission to-day announced that the owners of the Robin Moor have been advised by the operators of the Brazilian steamer Osorio, that the Robin Moor was torpedoed on May 21, 95 miles north- enst of Cape St Roque, Brazil. Ten members of the crew and one passenger, of the Robin Moor were landed at Pernambuco to-day after the Osorio had rescued them. No word has been received regarding the other 35 persons who were, on board.
The Commission confirmed that "eleven survivors of the
Robin Moor have disembarked at Pernambuco."
The spokesman stated that according to the owners of the Robin Moor it was "impossible for the Robin Moor to be mistaken for a belligerent ship because large United States flags were painted on both sides of the hull and at night a large searchlight played continuously upon an American flag at the stern."
