The steamer as soon as she noticed the submarine which was running unsubmerged, turned and steamed away. She was ordered to halt by a warning shot. She paid no attention however to this warn ing, but eXtinguished all lights and at tempted to escape The vessel was then fired upon until halted. and with i out further orders, lowered several boats.
