slightly injured.

Z whose life has been taken by
the Germans aimee war started.
Navy authorities regarded today
az remarkable the fact that the
vessel had merely been crippled
when once II came within line OF
the torpedo fire. They explained
the escape as probably due TO the
fact that the aim was impaired by
the speed and quick maneuvering
of the destroyer. American luck
and gameness were commented
upon.
While the navy withholds other
than the mere fact that the vessel
WAS torpedocd and made port. II Is
assumed she can be repaired. and
that she will be back on duty In q
short time.
