Captain Steamer Describes Thrilling Battle With
 U Boat on June 4.
TORPEDO HITS,
 FAILS TO SCORE
Gmnners Send Nineteen Shells at Underwater Boat and PeriscOpe Is Torn Away-Crew Relieves
 Enemy Boat Sunk.

An Atlantic Port, June 22.-An American steamer which arrived to- day from a British port had thrill ing encounter June 4 with a German submarine, after the enemy boat had fired a torpedo which hit but failed to explode.
 The submarine was badly damaged by the fire of the steamers gun crew and disappeared after It's periscope had been shot away.
 The steamers captain saw the wake of the torpedo and after the impact ordered the crew to the boats. The submarine submerged, evidently be- lieving the torpedo had done it's work. The captain, first and second officers and boatswain and mates of the gun crew remained on the steamer.
 When the torpedo f4iled to score, the crew was ordered back aboard and the submarine reappeared. Bluejackets went to the finch guns fore and aft, and fired rapidly. The submarine, according to the captain, came ahead on full speed and then stopped, which interfered with the range of the gunners.
 When within 600 yards of the steamer, one of the shells hit the submarine and she submerged. As she came up, second shot tore away ner periscope and another exploded on her turtle back. Nineteen shots were fired by the steamer.
 The crew said a light blue smoke rose from the stern of the submarine as it went down. The captain said he remained in the vicinity for two hours, but she failed to reappear. He said he was not certain the submarine was sunk, but he was certain she was damaged.
 The gun crew is certain the subma- rine was sunk.
