c, T. Hill crathern On Ship Which
Sunk a Submarine.
C. F. Hill Crathern, the young
Dartmouth student, who came to his
home in Old Bennington last week
from service in France had an excit-
ing experience on the way over. A
news dispatch in the New York Sun
tells the story as follows;
Passengers arriving at an Atlantic
port on an American steamship from
England today told of battle with
submarine, encountered when the
vessel was two days out, in which
they said the undersea boat was
sunk by a shot from the forward gun
Of the liner
The submarine was sighted the
morning after the American vessel
had left the British port. Two shots
were fired at the U-boat, which was
about roo yards away from the liner,
by the crew assigned to the gun in
the stern. A third shot discharged
from the forward gun, which the pas
sengers insisted struck the subma-
rine, was followed by the disappear
ance of the U-boat.
Among the ninety-eight passengers
who arrived on the steamship was
Major.Gen. Hugh l.. Scott. He was
accompanied by several other Ameri-
can army officers, who have been in
France with the American troops.
During the affair with the U-boat, ac
cording TO passengers, Gen. Scott
stood behind the crew or the forward
