The German spy in America un- dqubtedly communicated the number “eight” to Berlin, In no other possi- ble way could the German submarine commander have known how many officers were to have sailed on the hospital ship, for the figures were kept secret even from the Canadian public.

He added to this later by asserting that the vessel was carrying munition stores, because of an explosion which had occurred after the torpedo struck.
