NO FURTHER NEWS
REPORTED ATTACK ON LINER
(Received November 8, 10 a.m.) NEW YORK. November 7. Despite a short-wave vigil since the reported attack on the New Zealand Shipping Company's liner Rangitiki on November 5, no further news has been heard. Jay Allen, a correspondent of the North America Newspaper Alliance, en route to Lisbon by air, cabled from Horta that the Clipper was warned at midnight that a battle was being waged directly in the course of the flying-boat, which altered its course by 150 miles. It is therefore speculated that either the attack was a leisurely one and was continuing at extraordinary length, or British warships had arrived and were engaging the enemy.
