was told today by John Crosby, chief
mate of the former, from his bed in a

health until yesterday morning. Then,
safely in port, he collapsed. a.

and the ship was thrown out Of her
course. The torpedo missed by few
feet. Everyone was on deck by that
time. but we saw nothing OF the
U-boat.

out of the water with her guns ready.
She was all of 400 feet long and could
make II knots all hour. Our boat
was good for 1lI2 knots, but we be-
gan to go with the U-boat coming be-
hind. She opened up with her guns
and the fight started.
Il was acting as spotter for the
gunner, calling the shells as they
kicked up the water about the IT,
boat. Our 10Th shot took the sub
marine right. 1t did not blow up with
a bang. What it did was to swing
around slowly and drift broadside on.
We did not slow down, but made for
