a bee line for the submarine. 1t
looked as if the ship, according to
Mr.. Fletcher, who was standing on
the promenade deck, would ram the
submarine in the middle, but the Ger
man craft shot down into the water,
diving beneath the steamer.
Three minutes later the submarine
appeared on the opposite side of the
ship, fifty yards away. Again it took
sight on the steamer, but Captain
Kinniard now had his ship going on
an entirely different tack, having
swerved sharply. The submarine, be-
ing too far out of range to make a
sure shot, tried to catch up with
the liner, but the captains tactics
had enabled him to make his escape.
The submarine pursued the steamer
for a mile, but, being unable to gain
on the Cameronia, it gave up.
