48 MEN WOUNDED.
GREEK VESSEL MINED?
(Received 12.30 p.m.)
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 4. Harbour officials at Malmo, Sweden, have sent advice by radio that an unidentified ship will arrive at Malmo at 1 p.m. with 48 wounded on board. Ambulances have been ordered to be at the waterfront. It is believed the wounded comprise the crew of an unidentified Cireek ship which struck a mine in the Baltic. The Greek steamer Kosti, on its way from Antwerp to Leningrad, struck a mine. There were 29 aboard, but there were no casualties, all being taken off. The captain said he saw a German mine layer, but did not see any warning signals.
