boats, she made port. In the mean
time, officers and men had made tenn
! porary reapirc.
Admiral Sim reported that the be-
/ havior of the officers and the entire
crew was admirable. He gave special
credit to Commander Vernon and com
mended Lieuts. MacLaran, Saunders
/ and Parkinson for their ingenuity in
effecting repairs and for their GOODNESS

Official Announcement
The navy department made this Of
fetal announcement:
The destroyer recently mentioned in
dispatches made public as being injur-
ed by a torpedo, was the .. S. 5. Cas-
sin, commanded by Commander w. N.
! Vernon; executive officer, Lieut.. j. w.
MacLaran; junior officers, Lieut.. j. A.
! Saunders, Lieut.. A. r. Agrell, Lieut.. r.
Nj. Parkinson and Assistant Surgeon
d. w. Queen.
While his vessel was On her patrol
! station a submarine was sighted on
the surface at about five miles dis
! tant. The Cassin Immediately proceed
ed at full speed toward the submarine
| with her crew at their battle stations.
She searched the area for about 30
| minutes ~zigzagging back and forth.
when the commanding officer. Com
| mander Vernon sighted a torpedo run
ming at high speed near the surface
about 400 yards away, headed to strike
the Casstn amidship.
Realizing the situation, the COM
handing officer rang for emergency
full speed ahead on both engines, put
the rudder hard over and was Just
clear of the %torpedo's course when it
preached the surface, turned sharply
toward the vessel and struck the stern
Of the Cassin.
Only One Engine Disabled
Fortunately only one engine was
| disabled, thereby permitting the de-
stroyer to remain under way circling
in search Of the submarine. After
about an hour the submarine exposed
its coming tower long enough for the
Cassin to fire four shots. Two Of the
shots fell so close to the submarine
that it was forced to submerge imme-
diately and was not seen again. The
| Cassin continued to search until dark,
when. having zee joined by other
British and American patrol vessels,
she was taken safely into port.
Vice Admiral Sims states that the
| behavior of the officers and the en-
| tire crew was admirable. There was
| no excitement on board; the men re-
naming quietly at their battle stations
throughout the night except when
| called to other duties. He commends
| the British navy for the prompt and
| efficient. assistance rendered the Cas-
sin.
Admiral Sims gives special credit
to Commander Vernon for his vigil
ance and prompt action, which prob
ably saved the Cassin from total loss.
He also conmends Lieuts. MacLaren,
Saunders and Parkinson for the in
genuity in effecting temporary repairs
| and for their GOODNESS and efficient
work.
