AMERICAN TANKER
SUNK IN NORTH ATLANTIC. WHILE SAILING UNDER BRITISH FLAG. NEW YORK, October 23. Maritime circles confirmed the report that the American-owned tanker, W. C. Teagle (not W. T. Steegel) was sunk in the North Atlantic, while sailing under the British flag in convoy. The Maritime Commission refused to issue a statement, on the ground that technically it was a British ship. Marine underwriters have increased the war risk rates from 25 to 100 per cent on American ships plying between the Western Hemisphere and the Near and Far East. Rates between the United States and Greenland have been raised from 2 to i per cent.
