ENEMY SUBMARINE SUNK OFF THE COAST
Had Been in Engagement Lasting 29 Minutes With the American Steamer Frank H. Buck-U-Boat Went Down After Terrible Explosion.

Washington Sept. 10-Destruction of an enemy submarine Sept. 3 off the Atlantic coast by gunfre from the American steamer Frank H. Buck was reported to the navy department to- day by the master of the steamer. He hit the submersible. which sank after a terrific explosion"
 The submarine, the captain said, opened fire on the steamer at a range Of l4,0O0 yards. but when it found after an interchange of three score shots that it was outranged by the American vessels guns, it tried to draw off It was then that the ship put in the two shots which the captain believes de- stroyed the enemy
 The captains narrative, as sum- marized in the report to the depart ment, follows:
 "On Sept 3, at S.25 a. m. an enemy submarine was sighted on the star board beam a 14.000 yards. The sub marine opened fire with two inch guns. We answered fire with forward guns. We saw the shot fall about 400 yards short and immediately swung stern forward to submarine, using af- ter guns. Our shots were very close to the submarine, and the submarine Shrapnel were bursting very near to { us. some of the pieces falling upon our deck amidships. We changed the course frequently, which seemed to 1 upset the submarines aim and range | As soon as the submarine saw our range was equal 10 hers, she hauled away from us. Up to that time she i had been closing in on us.
 Before the submarine could get out
 of range our 2Sth shot from the after i gun apparently hit her stern. The 29tf 1 shot hit her just forward of the con
 ming tower. near and under the water
 line. The bow immediately shot LII
 into the air very suddenly, then set tied and went down out of sight. thu
