OFF for four long hours the attacks of
al German submarine until destroy
or racing to the steamers rescue forced
the U-boat TO submergc, is told in de-
tail to-day in an official account by the
Navy Department.
The engagement described took place
cuaOctobcr 10 while the vessel was en-
route to a French port. The U-boat
subjected the merchant craft to n heavy
she'll fire that injured seven men,
started a small blaze aboard, and tenn
norarly put the engines out of work
ing order.
Don't surrender" flashed the COM
mander Of the American destroyer that
eaught the Luckenbach's distress call.
Never" was the laconic reply.
All members of the armed guard have
been commended by the Navy Depart
nent for galantry in action, and the
commander has been given the temper
arv warrant of boatswain in recognl-
ten of his services.
U-Bcat Opened Fire
The official account follows:
at 80 4. NJ. the after lookout on
the Luckenbach reported a steamer
lhcam The commander of the armed
GUARD sighted her himself about one
point forward of the port BEAM Upon
looking at the steamer, which appeare d
very suspicious. through the glasses, a
sail appeared on her. Both guns were
trained on the steamer The armed
guard commander then went aloft to
obtain a better view. When he was
nalf way up the supposed steamer
.utned out to be submarine and
opened fire.
"The Luckenbach Immediately opened
ire with both guns. The first two or
,hree shots fired by the submarine fell
about 1000 yards short. She was fir
ing at long range. The Luckenbach' $
shots also fell short. AS the subma-
rine appeared to be closing in. the
captain was told to put the stern of the
Luckenbach to her. which he did. Dis

shot from the submarine landed on the
deck forward on the port side and OK
ploded in the gun crews quarters,
starting a fire. which partially. de-
stroyod the quarters and burned the
effects Of the gun crews. The same
shot burst the fire main. The fire main
was blocked off and water finally got
TO the fire. Steam was also turned o"
the flames shortly after the first
shot landed another shot struck the
quartcrmastcr's room, without doing
much damage.
Distress Call Heard
"The distress calls sent out had been
answered by United States destr rover
at $40, which was asked how quickly
it could arrive at the scene. Two
hours was the reply. The captain Of
the Luckenbach said: TOO late. Look
for boats Don't surrender came
back the message, arh the Luckcnbach
replied Never
AT about ! a. nj. smoke was sighted
on the horizon. The vessel was headed
toward the smoke to lessen the dis
lance the destroyer would have to
come. 1t was shortly after this that
the engines were temporarily put out
of commission by an explosive shell.
At about IL: 80 the destroyer fired her
first shot at the submarine, which sub
merged ten minutes later.
''The Luckenbach had commenced
firing about TAO and ceased firing at

Great praise is due the armed guard
for the manner in which they per-
formed their duty. The men stationed
