nesday last, according to the account
a part of the British fleet on the look
out for German submarines became
aware of the near presence of one.
The British vessels divided when the
submarine appeared with only its
periscope showing.
With grim patience the British
cruisers waited for the temperance
of the submarine. which occurred in
a dramatic fashion. BY some mis-
calculation, probably in a final ef-
fort to escape the cruisers, the sub
marines coming tower and upper
structure appeared in the midst of
the English vessels. The coming
tower had hardly broken the surface
of the water when the first British
gun marked it. The doomed vessel
was within range of seven British
cruisers ard from every one Of them
guns crashed out. In ten seconds
seven shots entered the frail shell
of the submarine.
