have arrived here. Captain Tricky
said:
"We sighted the submarine at about
Gas o'clock on Monday night. June %,
when We were about twenty miles west
Of Trevose Head. on the northwest coast
Of Cornwall. We were then about fodr
miles away. As it drew closer it fred
two shots across our bows
81 thcL turned my stern 10 her and
ran for all | was worth. The subma-
rine shelled us all the time, killing
several OF the crew and cutting away
several Of the boats. The boats had a.
ready been swung out and some Of the
men had taken up positions in them,
ready for the order TO lower
ain some cases the fails were cut by
shrapnel and several Of the men fell
into the sea. a stern chase ensued'
lasting for about an hour, the German
Smelling us increasingly. My steering
gear was cut and Knocked out OF order
A she'll came through the engine room
skylght and another knocked the Mar
conf house away.
Ship Afre in Three Places.
"A further shell went down the fun
mel, disabling the StOkehole and making
IL impossible TO keep q full head OF
steam Thirteen of my crew we're lying
dead on the deck and the ship was on
fire In three places.
"Then | decided 70 surrender. IL
was the only thing ! could do. BY TINS
time the submarine had decreased the
distance between us 20 about mile.
From the moment we surrendered
the Germans acted fairly toward us
and gave us ample time 10 get out OF
the shin. They even rescued some OF
the nen-three. I think-who had pre-
viously fallen from the boats and were
still afoat. aided by their hfeoelts.
When we got away from the ship the
submarine fred two torpedoes into her
and she sank at s:O7 o'clock. We re-
NAMED in the boats all night and we're
Kicked Nd next morning by the Belgian
steam trawler President Stevens. me
skipper and crew OF the trawler treated
US with the greatest kindness. Later
we were transferred 70 two 81 tlsh yes
sells and taken 70 port.
Among the lost is my fourth en-
gineer. Mr. Achison, a Liverpool man
He was c.inging TO some wrecN&ge WIN
unable 10 hold fast. A few minutes
later one Of our boats came up and
rescued the two other men.
Submarine Latest Type.
CAPTAIN Trickey has been with the
Leyland Line for many years and Iat-
terly as captain had been recently
transferred to the Armenian from an
other ship. The captains story was
supplemented by a vivid account gwen
bv one Of the officers. This latter SAID
the submarine was a new one OF the
very latest type ,;.o
clearly as she came up, with the num-
Der U-38 clearly marked and ali nags
flying. .,a .oo tho
commander leaning against the coming
tower. wearing brown overalls. We dld
not stop when she fred her warning
shot. and then a storm of shrapnel
hurst from her guns. All the time she
kent I'D a furious fusillade, and the
shrapnel fell around US like hail.
Heavy Damage from Shells.
"The ship suffered heavy damage,
and there was considerable loss Of life.
The first shell, too, found its mark. II
hurst on our starboard quarter and
killed ten men outright. another
smashed the Marconi cabin: Inc
operqtor stuck to his post till the last
sending an s o S signal until the
spnaratus was smashed. Then the
steering gear was damaged, and another
shell shattered a funnel and caused
havoc in the stokehold.
"The submarine was comparatively
close UP, and there was nothing Tor US
10 do then but to surrender 30 we
signalled to that effect. The whistle
was sounded three times and the yes
sci hauled to. ,,,
"Then the wounded were lifted into
the boats and the rest Of US numbered
in and we rOwed away into the night.
Some of the poor injured chaps were
suffering terribly and four Of them died
before daylight and we're buried at sea.
Next morning we were picked up, by
the trawler and eventually reached
port"
