WITNESS naval Fight
Passengers on Liner See Escort
and Submarine Battle.
British Torpedo Boat In Combat With
r German Diver, While Zig Ship ~
Takes to Flight.

New York, March 22.-Passengers
aboard the British steamer Lapland,
which reached here from Liverpool,
witnessed battle in the Irish Channel
between British torpedo boat, which
escorted the Lapland, and German
submarine. The Lapland, crowding
on all steam, fled in a zigzag line from
the combatants.
The Lapland picked up her naval
escort outside the entrance to Liver,
pool harbor. Before the steamer sailed
reports were current in Liverpool that
submarines were in nearby waters.
Steamer and convoy were not far from
Liverpool when the torpedo boat
opened fire.
The raider fired a torpedo at anoth,
er vessel. Passengers aboard the Lap
land watched the progress of the mis-.
sile through the water and saw that 1t
went wide of its target. No torpedo
was discharged at the Lapland so far
as could be learned.
Meantime the torpedo boats guns
had quickened their fire to fusillade.
The Laplands captain ordered full
speed ahead and the steamer shot
forward. To dodge torpedoes and to
afford the submarine poor target, the
Lapland was steered at intervals alb
ruptly to port and to starboard in a
zigzag course. Going at her highest
speed, the steamer left the combatants
behind and made the safety of the
open sea.
