NEW YORK MEN CAPTURED AND TWO O F CREW DROWNED
IN WAR ZONE
Washington, July 12.—An American naval launch, after helping a French
destroyer to tow a disabled American seaplane to safety, was sunk by German
shore batteries, losing two of her crew, probably drowned, and two taken
prisoner by the enemy.
Assistant Surgeon Albert Mason Stevens, Naval Reserves, of 2226 Loring
Place, New York, and Philip Goldman, quartermaster, of 234 East 116th Street,
New York, landed in front of the German batteries and were captured. Seaman
Charles Joe Tatulinski, 6215 Fullerton Avenue, Cleveland, and John Peter
Vogt, 3042 North Rampart Street, New Orleans, are missing. Three others in
the boat swam for shore with life preservers and were picked up unhurt on
allied territory.
A n official announcement of the incident from the Navy Department today
did not give the date or name the place where it occurred. I t is assumed that
the launch belonged to one of the American warships on patrol duty.
