AMERICAN LINER
SINKS SUBMARINE
Too Close to Use Her Guns, by Good
Stewardship She Rams Assassin
Of the Deep.

New York, June 13.-The story Of
how one of Germany's latest and larg-
est submarines fell a victim to Yam
kee seamanship was told today when
the big American steamship that did
the trick arrived at an American port.
On her voyage to the other side, from
which she has just returned, the yes
sci was attacked at the same moment
by two U-boats acting in concert from
port and starboard. They were too
close TO permit the training of the
liners defensive guns upon either of
them fact suggesting a new phase
OF U-boat strategy since the arming
of merchantmen. But this very cir
.cumstance proved the undoing of n
of them.
1t was on the morning Of May 10.
when the steamship was about 200
miles of the coast OF Ireland that
the lookouts caught sight OF two
r~eriscopes. At the same instant they
perceived two torpedoes already cleav-
ing toward the liner. The captain
ordered the helm hard over. swing
ing the vessel out of her course. AS
she turned the torpedoes just missed
or gra1ed her bows at a harmless
angle. according to some accounts.
SO far It was anybody's game, but
the odds seemed in favor of the
kaiser. The sea was calm and the
going was good-just as good, how
ever. for torpedoes as 1t was for the
hunted ship denied the use OF her
armament.
|, Orders had been flashed to the en-
gtne room for every ounce of steam
to be crowded in the boilers and great
plumes OF smoke began to trait from
her tunnels as the half naked men
in the stoke hole jumped to the work
which meant life or death to the good
ship and all on board.
While the navy gunners chafed be-
side their six-ineh pets. all keyed up
to launch a decisive shell, whenever
the angle or distance might permit,
the skipper stationed himself beside
the quartermaster at the wheel and
kept him reversing the helm at inter
walls so hat the liner heeled like a
yacht as she ~zigzagged between the
two ASA ssins Of the sea
AS she made her second turn two
more torpedoes slithered toward her.
But her erratic course had bafled the
agents OF frightfulness n both missed
their mark. Another sharp order from
the captain to steersman sent the liner
swinging on neF neei AEAln. Inls
time, so .kiifuIfy had she been man
oeuvered her sharp bow was pointed
straight at the starboard submarine
II was too late for the German to get
out OF the way. The American shir
swept over the fratI submarine with a
shock felt by all Sn board. One blade
of the liners propeller was snapped
on as she sank the U-boat. AS fol
the port submarine, its periscope dis
appeared n few moments later. The
liner did not pause to investigate. but
continued a zig-zag course at full speed
for the rest OF her run to England.
