SAW A SEA FIGHT
Passengers on the Lapland
Witnessed a Battle
Between a German Submarine
and a British Destroyer.

New York, March O.-Passengers
aboard the British steamer Lapland,
which reached here today from Liv-
erpool, witnessed a battle in the Irish
channel between British torpedo
boat, which escorted the Lapland, and
a German submarine. The Lapland,
crowding on all steam, fled in a zig
gag 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 Liver
pool 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 an
other vessel. Passengers aboard the
Lapland watched the progress of the
missile through the water and saw
that it went wide of its target. No
torpedo was discharged at the Lap
land so far as could be learned. Mean
time the torpedo boats guns had
quickened their fire to a fusillade of
shots. The Lapland's 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
abruptly to port and to starboard in
a zig-zag course. Going at her high
est speed the steamer left the COM
batants behind and made the safety
of the open sea.
The Lapland carried 113 passen-
gers. In the steerage were two
American boys, Harold and Howard
Hudson of Bridgeport, Conn, twins,
about 1 5 years old, who had attended
school near London The boys wanted
to see actual warfare and enlisted in
the British army, giving false ages
and not mentioning their nationality.
Their parents in this country learned
what had happened and invoked the
aid of the state department to secure
their release. Through the efforts of
Ambassador Page at London the boys
were released.
