tween the French line
freighter Guayne and a Ger
man submarine, the U-boat
was sunk, officers and crew
reported today on their ar
rival here from bordeaux.
The submarine, they declared,
fired three ineffective shots at
the ship and went down when the
second shell from the 65-millime-
ter gun on the Guayne struck her
lsquarely.
The submarine, Capt. Rousellot
said, appeared on the vessel's port
side on Jan. 22 when the ship was
only one day out from Bordeaux.
Capt. Rousselot later said the
submarine fired three shots at his
ship. none of which took effect
The Guayne, he said, was swung
around so that her 65-millimeter
gun could be trained on the sub
marine.
Two shots were fired by the
Guayne gunner, he said, and the
second struck its mark. The sub
IudTlue disappeared.
The gunner aboard the Guayne,
a Breton, refused to discuss the
incident, but others talked of it,
paying tribute to the quickness
and accuracy of his fire.
The ship had to swing about
while the submarine was firing
they said, and narrowly escaped
being struck. Both gunners fired
simultaneously as the ship swung
into position for the fight, but
each shot missed its mark by a
few feet.
Everyone aboard knew that the
next shot would settle the battle
and that all depended upon the
next shot. The Breton fired a
moment before the German and
the shot struck squarely.
The U-bOat flOundered for
a moment, desperately striv-
ing to keep afloat, but finally
disappeared. Captain ROusse-
lot said his gunner stopped
firing when he saw that the
submarine had been hit.
| AS soon as we were certain the
submarine was sunk the crew lift
ed the gunners to their shoulders
and paraded the ships deck cele-
brating. A feast was arranged in
honor of the OCCASION" said Capt.
Rousselot.
The experience of the Guyane
was similar to that of her sister
ship, the Honduras, which, while
on trip from Brest to New Or
leans, some time ago, drove a sub
marine off after long running
! battle.
The Guyane is a steel freighter
of 2,400 tons net. he has car
ried millions of dollars worth of
munitions to the allies since the
beginning of the war and has had
her 65 milimeter gun aboard since
the submarine operations began
to be a menace.
The gun is the same as that car
ried by other French ships mount
ed astern so that the vessel must
turn unless the submarine ap-
reached from the stern.

ANIMAL LIFE IN THE ICE.
There Are Sixty Varieties of Worms
Found in Glaciers.

New York World Glaciers and snow
fields are by no means normally barren
of life, as is commonly supposed.
Ny interest in this subject was first
aroused years ago, upon observing
plants of many different species grow
ing through and even Towering below
the snow crusts clothing the slopes Of
Mont Blanc, in Switzerland and on
the Ortler, in the Tyrol and again last
year in seeing acres Of so.called red
snow" and abundant animal life flour
ishing on the SHOWS and glaciers Of
Mount Rainier
There are at present known in the
world approximately sixty species and
varieties Of snow and ice worms. Sex
ually mature specimens, yellowish to a
dark reddish brown or black in color,
about an inch long and one-twentiett
inch in diameter, were found in Febru-
ary and April, 1916 abundantly on the
open snowfalls of Mount Rainier, at
an elevation Of 2,75O to $500 feet above
sea level They also occurred on the
snow on the mountain slope protected
| by a dense forest Of fir and hemlock.
These worms have not thus far been
found on solid ice nor ON the glaciers
though they occur ON the snow below
the ice front and outside Of the lateral
moraines of the Nisqually glacier The
! snow on which they were found is not
permanent through the entire season

are reasons for believing that they may
be found to live at an altitude as low

worms coil up so as to appear as small
spherical black masses or dots on the

considerable exposure to sunshine to

Nothing very definite is known con-
cerning the food of the snow worms.
Professor Flett reports that the snow
over which these enchytraeids crawl
usually has a red color, due to a min
