Moist says
we left st. Nazarie, France. Tuesday
evening. May 20. about o'clock The
next afternoon about o:30 the officers
on the bridge saw subma rine. which
fired a torpedo at us. Our boat. which
was zigzagging at the time. was i'm
mediately swung to port. thereby get
ting out of line of the torpedo. which
passed perhaps a ships length astern
OF us. The submarn then submerged
and reappeared ten minutes afterward
about 5000 yards astcrn Of US, but
Eunners Immediately opened fire on her,
which was returned. The Smelling was
over in ten minutes. both sides SEEM
ing to be out of range of each others
guns. The submarines shells were
landing about 500 feet astern of our
boat, and it was plainly seen that we
we're not firing much closer to them
The gunners fired sixteen shells in all,
and it Is claimed the submarine must
have fired from eighteen to twenty. as
she was using rapid-tire guns.
Just as the Virginia fired the last
shot steamer was sighted off the
port bow which was headed for St.
Nazarie. The submarine must have
sighted the steamer at the same time.
There was lapse OF ten minutes
while the other boat was passing out
of sight, and we heard firing which
sounded as IL the other boat were en-
gaging the submarine. Our wireless
was busy sending messages. Whether
the other boat had any wireless or
not. we could get no reply. She may
have been sunk. During tho skirmlsh
the captain and officers showed much
GOODNESS in handling the boat. The
crew seemed 10 take the matter as a
joke. One of them was heard TO say
that the skirmish was only the Ger
