SURVIVORS TELL OF
BIG U-bOAT CAPTURE

An Atlantic Port. Oct. Il.-All but
twenty of the crew of an American
ship which was sunk five days ago by
"a submarine were killed by shell fire
from the submarine after they took

deroEa 5000 tons.
The towing of Il monster German
submarine into Glasgow was described
by cattle men who returned on a
British steamer after making trip
TO Scotland.
AS they were leaving Glasgow, they
said, they saw a huge captive U-boat
being lowed into port. The subma-
rine had been conquered by Brit
ish and an American destroyer. Fhe
destroyer commanders penetrated the
mast and sail camoufiage by which
the 4o0-foot submersible was made to
resemble an innocent coaster. They
gave chase and SO damaged the
U-boat that her commander was com
PEELED to surrender. Her coming
tower was wrecked and her stern had
been ripped open by a shell. She
mounted two guns fifteen feet long
and apparently of six-inch caliber.
