U-soAT ENDEAvoRED TO
 ATTACK DESTRoYERs
While They Were Engaged in Rescue Work-Stery Told by an American Officer.

London, Feb. That a German submarine endeavored to attack the destroyers while the latter were en- gagged in rescue work is the statement made by an American officer at an- other Irish port where large number of men were landed The officer said to a correspondent of The Associated Press:
 tThe thing that somehow impress ed me most in the whole experience was the promptitnde and precision with which the British naval men han dled their craft under the trying con- dltions of rescue work. This work had only just begun when there came the most exciting moments of the, night.
 "A Uboat from the curtain of blackness, behind which she was skulking, thought to finish the work by an attack on the destroyers. Three torpedoes were discharged in a few minutes at three destroyers, and 1t was only due to the watchfulness of the lookouts and the splendid seamanship cf the British naval men that they failed to reach their targets.
 This onsiought, however, revealed the approximate location of the ene- my, and a pair of destroyers at once attacked with guns and bombs so ef- fectively that even if the U-aoat was not sunk It was afraid to show itself again.
