ships dOctOr-is amongst three white
men who the Germans allowed to
climb aboard. Their fate IS uncertain.
Twenty-Five survivors were brought
into Bristol by a British boat less
than 2 hours after the Armenian had
been torpedoed.
In many respects the meeting OF
the steamer and the submarine stands
unique in the long list of encounters

instructed the wireless operator TO
send out the S. O. S. call.
The submarine. which was awash,
came above the water and started in

aboard the Armenian worked like
mad. the boat working up to almost
20 knot. Flames were belching from
the funnel
Hardly had the wireless operator
finished his first call for help when
the submarine, about a mile away, got
one of it's deck guns into action. The
very first shot hit the foremost.

sailors put it,
One shell ExpIOdes.
Only three men aboard were hit
during the Smelling. Finally, however,
one shell dropped through the sky
light over the engine room and ex-
ploded amongst the toiling stOkers.
-Four men were killed outright by
this shell and the engines were dis
