CRUISER MAKES TARGET
 OF SINKING TANK SHIP
Sacramento Gunners Test Their Skill When Sebastian Cannot Be Saved,
 According to Report by Captain.

Newport, May 11.-Captain Fal- coner and B members of the crew of the British oil tank motor ship Sebastian, which went to the bottom southwest of Nantucket Shoals light ship early yesterday, told on their arrival here today how the United States gunboat Sacramento used the sinking vessel as target as she started to sink. For eight hours the Sacramento had been towing the Se- bastian while the latter's crew, aided by tackles, fought fire in the en- zine room At daylight the gum boats commander saw that the ship could not stand up much longer and ordered the crew to take to the boats.
 Safe aboard the gunboat, the Brit isher's crew watched the Sebastian settle slowly. Then big gun on the Sacramento boomed and as second shot sounded, the ship disappeared from view. .
 The fire, according to Captain Fall coner, was caused by an overflow of fuel oil in the exhaust pipe in the engine room.
