i. S. GUNNERS LOST
WHEN DIVER S|NKS?.
Americans Believed Aboard
U-Boat Destroyed by French.
TANKER FOUGHT TO THE LAST
Survivors of the Campana Reach Port
on Warship and Tell of Des-
perate Fight With German
Submarine.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 23.-Five
U. S. navy gunners as well as the i'm
prisoned captain of the Standard Oil
tanker Campana may have died in the
submarine U2, which sank the vessel.
according to Third Officer ]. H. Bruce.
who, with 40 members of the ship's
crew and eight of the gun crew, ar
rived here on French steamship.
1t had been feared that the five naval
gunners, captured when the Campana
was sunk, would be treated by the Ger
mans as pirates Gas threatened) and
executed with short shrift
Sent to Bottom.
However, according to the story
brought by the survivors, a French
war vessel sent to the bottom a Ger
man diver, which may have been the
one that sank the Campana, in a brief
time after it had put an end to the
Campana and at about the same spot,
without taking anyone off.
The Campana, it seems, fought off
the U-boat until its ammunition was
exhausted. One hundred and eighty
shots were fired by the tanker, against
400 by the diver, two of which hit.
The battle began at a. m. and was
waged for four hours at a range Of
between 1900 and 1900 yards.
Take to Boats.
After the Campana hoisted the in
ternational signal of Surrender, its last
shell gone the submarine continued TO
fire, Mr.. Bruce said, and all hands took
to the boats.
The U-boat commander first ap-
preached the boat commanded by Mr..
Bruce, which had aboard the Cam
pana's IS naval gunners, and ordered
it alongside. He then went to the life
boat occupied by Capt. Albert Oliver
of the Campana, and took him prisoner
with five of the gunners.
The Campana was sent to the bot
tom by bombs.
Bruce and his men were rescued by
q French WarShip.
Rescued by French.
The warship took them aboard and
landed them in France. Mr.. Bruce
said he was told by an officer of the
war vessel that he had heard wire
less message from another French
