prepared to put them into effect. They
met with a stubborn resistance on the
part Of the American captain, Duffy,
and his crew. who refused to haul down
the colors, saying that if the ship
had to be sunk it would be with the
flag flying.
Captain Duffy maintained his ground

Their discussion about the flag ceased
and after the captain and crew had
been taken aboard the submarine a
torpedo and three shells sent against
the side of the American ship put her
to the bottom.
Although angry at the action of the
German commander. Capt. Duffy and
his men had some measure of satisfac-
ton in seeing the flag at the mast
head as the vessel was finally en-
