clared there was a submarine on the port
quarter The officers on the bridge looked
through their glasses and saw some SHIN
mering object passing through the water

have been a torpedo. One shot from tho

the Mongolia continued her course.
On the following day something like a
submarine was sighted on the surface Of
the sea nearly a mile away on the star
board beam with hundreds of seagulls
lowering over 1t. The gunners were
about to fire when the officer on the
bridge shouted through his megaphone:
Don't shoot. It's dead horse

S Shot Killed
Submarine Commander

New York, May 14-The New York
Times Monday says:
The armed American steamship Mon
golia which fired the first shot in the
war on April 10 at a German submarine

with the report that the shot did not
sink the U-boat as was at first Suppos-
ed, but knocked away the periscope.
damaged the upper part of the coming
tower and killed the commander This
change of opinion. one of the officers
said, was due to the fact that three
days after the Mongolia reached Eng
land the British admiralty was inform
ed through it's secret service that u
boat had arrived at Kiel with the peri
scope gone, the top section of the. con-
ming tower smashed, and the body of
the commander on board, who had been
killed by the shell fired from the Amer
lean liner by-Gunner's Mate James
Goodwin Of Portsmouth, Va.
The hitting of the coming tower it
was said, would account for the small
cloud of vapor which assembled after
the shell struck the submarine. The
U-boat was sighted about $50 A. NJ.
on April 10, when the sea was perfect
ly calm and the weather clear, ten
miles south of South Foreland. in the
English Channel. She was on the port
side, before the beam, the officers said,
and came around the stern of the Mon
golia to the starboard quarter. The
first shot hit the mark. and three more
were fred, all from the stern gun.
On the voyage back to America the
naval gunners fired o shot ct what
they believed might be a submarine,
but did not get any tangible result.
