The U-boat first appeared when the British vessel was on her way to Brazil from the Canary Islands. The Highland Patriot had been equipped to protect herself, and managed to put up a good battle. There is no certainty if the sub- marine was sunk or badly damaged, but she submerged and was not seen again. During the fighting, passengers milled about the decks, at times close to a state of panic. One fell down a companion way and was seriously injured. 20 | om ]Nfigfiéis Found on Site, Dance Hall 13. » | FRANCOIS LAKE, B. C..
