of recent naval actions against Ger

manner in which the U-boat menace is
being met, was given out Sunday night
by the admiralty at London.
A torpedo boat patrolling in the At
lantic found steamer tOrpedoed and
sinking. The survivors were rescued
and then the torpedo boat circled
about the locality for more than an
hour. Finally, white patch OF water
was seen dead ahead. The torpedo
boat dashed over the spot, grazed the
submarine and dropped three subma-
rine bombs. Oil and air bubbles
reeking of gasoline came to the sur
face and mine sweeper found an OBJ
