The sailors Of the Delmira were
given 15 minutes to leave their vessel

towed by the submarine until another
ship was sighted. This latter ship was
TO venture an attack and they threw
off the tow lines.

submarine hero. While no details OF
the destruction of this vessel had

Us in the downs off the coast Of
Kent. The U-5 was headed for the

lookout on the steamer.
The TychO's captain ordered that
his vessel take a zig-Zag course in
the hope that thus it could avoid any
torpedo fired by the U-5 and i'm
mediately sent up distress signals.
These were sen by British destroyers
near the coast and they sped out to
assist the TychO. The U-5 abandoned
the pursuit when the ships appeared.
