British Ship Battles
and Sinks German
U-Boat in Atlantic

An Atlantic Port, June 25.-Members
Of the crew of a British steamer which
arrived here today reported having
sunk an attacking German submarine.
The British vessel sent a shell into the
U-boats magazine, causing an splO-
sion which parted the underwater boat
about midships. Each end sank sepa-
rately. The British steamr was unin-
jured.
The submarine was five miles dis
tant and running away after having
attacked the Britisher, nearly 400 miles
on the coast of Ireland.
According to the story told by the
gunner Of the British steamer. the sub
marine was seen first when she sent
shell at the steamer from q distance
Of about 5000 yards. It fell short and
the steamer was immediately swune
about to get the naval gun to work.
Eleven shots were fred in rapid sue
cession and each struck very close to
tho German.
Il knew had the range after the
second shot and so did the Germans"
said the gunner. "The Germans were
using their two guns, fore and aft.
while we had only one, but the shells
were falling short and he started to
run. followed him with shells and
the twelfth struck Just abaft the peri
scope. He was then more than 5000
yards away. We could all see the
boat break in half and go down.
II sent four more shots into the water
At the spot where she disappeared to
let any Of the 'boches who might have
escaped know that wo were still
around and would take care Of them II
they appeared.
"At the time our battle was going
on our wireless operator picked up the
call of an American vessel and also
caught q message that another Amer
lean ship was torpedoed and was sink
ing, and that the Germans were firing
on the lifeboats.''
