During our eighth trick OF Cape
aelleo ! was amidships in the galley
when ! heard our two 14-pounders 20
OF almost at the same time. Every
body ran for his station. Going mp
the main deck to my turret q man told
me It was sub on the port bow, but
I only caught . glimpse Of the little
whirlpool where her psriscope sub
merged I do not know why she did
not let loose Q torpedo at us. The
oficees said she was trying to make
the entrance 10 the Dardanelles and
came up bind among our ships and
was scared OF BY our guns, but I
thought ~ had Just escaped By the
skin a our teeth. Later on our de-
stroysfs claimed to have sighted her
OF 0aba Tsps.
At nooa we were at mess when one
Of the boys yelled. "she's hit" and We
all rushed O deck. There was the
British ship. Triumph. torpsdosd and
listing away over to starboard. She

o( the British traWlers went to the
assistance of the Triumph to plck up
the crew.
We could 80 the crew jumping into
he water. Then W brsesed out
toward ths hoeison, full speed ahead.
All about the Triumph was q cloud q
black smoke. bot when We looked
through the giass we could 80 she was
going down. Then our guns began to
bombard The Turkish positions and I
Aad to eet busy. When I saw the
Triumph again she was bottom up.
She must have Aoated upside down
for almost half an hour. then she went
down % though there was somebody
on the bottom pulling her.
When shs went our Old Man banged
