American Destroyer to Rescue
During Battle With ''Sub."
Vessel Disabled; z of Crew Are
Wounded in TWO-HOur Duel.

A French Seaport, Oct. 25.-Escap-
ing from a German submarine, after
a bitter fight lasting nearly four hours
and with seven of her crew wounded,
two of them seriously. an American
steamer arrived here this morning
from an American port. The timely
Intervention of an American torpedo
boat alone saved the ship from being
sent to the bottom.
A few hours after the vessel had
entered the danger zone. a lookout
sighted a submarine on the port bow.
but before he had time to report its
presence the submarine fired a sho-
which missed the stern of the ship by
but few yards. The captain imme-
diately sent out a wireless call for as
sistance as the position of the subma-
rine was such that escape was nearly
impossible.
The gun crews of the submarine and
the steamer began to exchange shots
The chief gunner of the steamer
opened fire at a range of 5000 yards,
but all the shots fell short. The sub
marine kept maneuvering to keep out
of the range of the lstea mer's guns. at
the same time maintaining a running
fire in an effort to disable the vessel.
The merchant ship, after altering her
course, started at full speed in an at
tempt to escape.
Exchange Over 200 Shots.
The stubbornnes of the battle is in
dicated by the fact that the subma-
rlne 1lred 234 shots at the steamer
which responded with more than $50
shots. After the fight had continued
for about two hours and several shots
had struck the ship, wounding four
men, one shell hit the vessel and ex-
ploded in the engine room putting
the engines out of commission and
rendering the ship helpless. The Ger
man commander then approac hed
nearer and the submarine continued
to rain shells upon the disabled craft
