Captain of Lyman M. Law
0
is Cetrain Cargo Wanted
by the Teutons
Cl VITA VECHIA, Italy, Tuesday,
Feb. 20.—Captain McDonough, com
mander of the American schooner Ly
man M. Law arrived here today, and
declared that his vessel had been de
stroyed for her supplies.
“The order for destruction of the
Lyman M. Law came 20 minutes after
her manifest had been examined and
passed and the ship allowed to pro
ceed," said Capt. McDonough. Part
of our cargo was petrol in tanks and
other material of value so packed that
water would not damage it. The sub
marine captain evidently knew the
depth of water was shallow enough
for a diver to work in and on second
i
thought saw the apportunity to estab
lish an undersea base.
“We were warned to abondon ship
and allowed to sail away in her steam
launch." *
