American destroyers, according to an
American seaman who has just
reached his home here from a French
port. The seaman, a former Boston

said, when the destroyers, all flying
the Stars and Stripes, steamed in with
their prizes. The submarines were ly
ing upon the surface of the ocean,
with their coming towers open, dur
ing the process of recharging their
batteries, when the American destroy
ers swept down upon them and took
them prisoners without fight.
While the transport was still at the
French port, the seaman said, Ger

white flag flying from her periscope.
The enemy crew explained that they
had been lying in wait for the troop
ship in the open sea, and that when
they failed to find her and the sup
plies ran low, the crew mutinied,
killed the commander and decided to
surrender.
