The British steamer which was sunk to-day was the Cadeby. The one attacked was the Glasgow steamer Argyllshire, which was overhauled by a submarine somewhere between her home port and Liverpool. A despatch from Liverpool says S, O. S. calls were sent out and several vessels put out to lend assistance, The Admirdlty, which was besieged with requests for information, reported this afternoon that the ship had reached a port safely. The port was not named, nor was the extent of the damage made public, The Argyllshire in a steel twin serew steamer of 6,610 tons, She is owned by) the Seottish Line, Limited.
