SUBMARINES SUNK
ON THE ATLANTIC
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Aug. 20.-The navy
department announced today that
the captain of an American steamer
had reported that his vessel rammed
and probably sank submarine
about D. m. on August II, near
Winter Quarter Shoal off the north
ern Virginian coast. The captain
stated the submarine was struck on
her port side, bringing her along
side.
The submarine crew hailed the
steamer, saying they were friends,
the captain said, but he replied that
they were no friends of his. He kept
on his course. The steamer is now
in port with badly damaged bow
and a quantity of water in her hold.
The captain thinks he sank the sub
marine.
In making the announcement, the
department did not mention the
name of the ship. Because of the
American shippers substantial story
and the damaged bow, the story is
given credence not accorded most of
the stories of submarine fights.
Tanker Sinks Sub.
An Atlantic Port, Aug. 20.-A
40O-foot enemy submarine was sunk
of the Atlantic coast by the crew
of British tanker, according to an
officer of the tanker.
The tale of the battle was told to-
day by John Crosby from his bed in
la hospital, where he is being treated
for shocks.
Crosby is said to be in a serious
condition. A remarkable feature of
the case is that he felt no effect dur
ing the engagement, which took
place on last Friday, and was in
good health until yesterday. Then
safely in port, he collapsed.
