the Russian having told a somewhat

most of its particulars. / believe
the reason they waited for my story
was that they could scarcely believe
from the Russian that the Germans

TRUE ACCOUNT
U-BOAT SINKING
SHIP AND MUIR
DERING

The Committee on Publis 1nfor-
nation is authorized by the Navy
Department to make public this ac-
count OF the sinking of the British
steamer Belgian Prince. The story
a. given herewith is exactly as taken
down by an officer OF the American
Navy from VIM. Smell, colored, cook
OF the Belgian Prince and one OF the
two survivors of the crew. 1t Is
practically in SHELLS own words. me
statement follows:
About D. m. on July 81 ! heard
an explosion, did not know whether
It was a torpedo or bomb, and l
ran to my lifeboat, the boats having
been lowered partly from their dav-
tts. After the crew boarded life
boats they were lowered into the
water and we rowed from the ship
about SO yards, when the submarine
came to the surface about 1OO yards
from us and fired at the wireless on
board the Belgian Prince and tore it
down; then she came slowly between
our three boats, the fourth ifeboat
having been blown to pieces when
che explosion occurred, leaving the
captains boat on the port side OF
the submarine and the other two
boats on the starboard side, and ask
ed for the captain. The captain said
Here am" The captain was talk
en- into the coming tower OF the
submarine and asked for his papers
and they were delivered up to the
commander Of the submarine.
Lined Up On U-Boat's Deck.
The commander of the submarine
said, els there any gunners there"
and our officer replied, mo, sir; they
rot killed." The commander OF the
submarine said, III there is no gun
ners aboard there bring your boats
alongside" and as we got alongside
he said, "All hands on deck" When
we got on deck he said, Hands up"
Then he lined us up in single rank
from the bow of the vessel as far
AFT o. the gun, which was on board
her. forward the coming tower and
which appeared to be q 6-inch gun.
There were two men OF the sub
marines crew on top Of the coming
tower with guns Of large bore IN
their hands, which they kept trained

The captain of the submarine ives
also on deck and stood near the
forward gun giving instructions in
German to his crew what to do. One
seaman of the submarines crew
stood a little abaft the coming tow
er about tbreast the breech Of the
after gun. The commander then
walked along the line of the Belgian
Princes crew asking them If they
had any arms on their persons and
searching each individual. He cam
manded US to take off our life belts
and throw them on deck, which we
did. AS the life belts were dropped
the commander picked them up and
threw them overheard.
Concealed His Life Belt.
When ! threw my life belt down
showed it ahead on the deck with
my foot and finally stood on it. AS
he walked along the line he huddled
us together in a crowd and them
went and pulled the plug out Of our
lifeboats which were lying on the
sarboard bow of the submarine and
he then walked aft to the coming
tower, at which time l picked up my
belt quickly and thrust it under
big loose oilskin which I was wear
ing at the time, hugging it close to
my breast with my arms.
When the commander went to the
coming tower four Germans came on
deck. and got in our captains boat,
which was lying on the port side Of
the submarine, and the submarine
backed little, then steamed ahead
and rammed and smashed one of our
boats, which had been lying on the
starboard bow and had been cast Off
from the submarine few moments
before she backed.
The four men, who had gotten into
our captains boat, rowed alongside.
the BelgianPrince. The submarine
then steamed ahead, as near as |
can guess, about 9 knots per hours.
leaving he four men in our captains
boat alongside the Belgian Prince,
all of us, excepting our captain, be-
ling huddled together on her for
ward deck.
She steamed thus about an hour
and a half, at which time I noticed
that the water was rising slowly on
the forward deck and it came up on
my feet. l also noticed some little
time before this. which time ! can
accurately state, the coming tower
had been closed.
Left Struggling In the Water.
The water continued to rise around
my ankles, and when the water got
6 inches up on my legs pulled my
Life belt out quickly, threw 1t over
my shoulders, and jumped over
board. The other men did not seem
to know what was going TO happen,
some. of them Mere saying. II WON.

jumped l heard a suction of the YES
sci sinking and the submarine had
submerged entirely, leaving the crew
of the Belgian Prince struggling in
the water.
l commenced to swim toward the
Belgian Prince, which l could see
family in the distance, it not being
very dark in this latitude at this
time of the night. l am a good
swimmer and swan practically all
night on my back and in other posi-
tons. One Of our crew, who was
without life belt do not know
his name-kept about yards from
me for about an hour after the sub
marine submerged. This man final
ly became exhausted and sank. l
heard numerous other cries for help
from our men, but could not see
them.
Later / heard Whirring noise,
something like an aeroplane, and
smelled the odor of gasoline, which
| thought was the submarine return
ing toward the Belgian Prince to
pick up her four men. When day
broke there were lots of dead bodies
of my old shipmates floating around
me. Then, about 5 O'Clock, as near
as l can judge, l made out the Bel
gian Prince and four men coming
over her side. They had been lower
ing some stuff off the Belgian Prince
into the boat alongside. l cried out
Help! Help" but they paid no at
tention to me. At this time the sub
marine came to the surface about so
yards from the Belgian Prince, and
the four men from the eBlglan
Prince approached the submarine in
their boat and they hoisted some
stuff out of the row-boat and put it
on board the submarine, and about
10 minutes afterwards she submerg
ed, leaving one man in the lifeboat,
the other three having gone on BOARD
the 1ubmersible.

AS the submarine submerged l
heard great explosion and the Bel
gian Prince broke in two and sank
l saw vessel approaching from
far distance and she gradually ap-
preached me. She came within
hundred yards of me close to where
the Belgian Prince had sunk. She
passed me, proceeded some little dis
lance, turned around, and came back,
and picked me up, at which time |
was just commencing to lose con-
sciOusness. As soon as / revived l

Of the Belgian Prince and the drown
