j. S. SHIP BESTS U-BOAT
Tidewater's Gunners Believed to
Have Sunk Submarine in
Fight March II.

A fight between the American steamer
Tidewater and a German submarine on
March II, in which the submarine was
defeated and perhaps sunk. was re-
ported today by the Navy Department.
The announcement said:
"Tne commander of the armed guard
on the steamship Tidewater reports to
the Navy Department that on March II
about 1880 pm. a submarine was
sighted off the starboard bow. head
ing toward the vessel. about $50 yards
off. AS the ship turned it missed the
submarine by no more than twenty
feet. The U-boat was then submerging.
The ships guns were brought to bear
and the first shot hit some distance
ahead of her wake.
1.-THE pointer fired the second shot
and had what the captain, the chief en-
gineer and myself and other members of
the crew called clean hit and was
satisfied that 1t was effective. The third
shot was fired by the boatswain's mate
in charge of the after guns crew, hav-
ing her spotted and firing in the posi-
tion she last submerged in. We resumed
our course and commenced zigzagging,
standing by for an attack, but the sub
marine did not appear again. We made
all preparations for an attack at day
break. but there were no signs of a sub
marine"
