told by Chief Yeoman II. NJ. Hyatt, who
was official photographer of that section,
now stationed in this city.
Life aboard the destroyer Nicholson,
he said. was one exciting incident after
another. including the capture OF the
German submarine U-5S and the rescue
of the crew of the American transport
Covngton, sunk by German torpedo.
The Covington was torpedoed last
July. At the time the Nicholson was
tifd up at the dock in Brest, undergoing
general repairs. The guns were dis
mantled and the internal fittings OF all
four boilers were out, but within an hour
after the skipper rec ived the word to
sail TO rush to the place where the trans
port had been fired on the Nicholson
steamed out of port, with only one boiler
in operation.
Working under the handicap of the
little ship going at slow rate through
the heavy seas, which made the Ntchol-
son roll badly, the men completed re-
pairs TO the three remaining boilers, and
inside of eight hours had reached their
objective, the sinking Covington.
Three Allied tugs had beaten the de-
stroyer and were towing the transport
toward the coast of France, zoo miles
away. The Nicholson stood by. and
when the Covington finally went under,
more than a hundred miles off the coast
the crew was picked up and taken 10
safety by the destroyer The Nicholson
made an unsuccessful effort to find the
submarine.
Sailing out of Queenstown, however,
doing convoy duty. the destroyer was
luckier The Nicholson was leading the
line OF convoy when the destroyer Fan
ming, bringing up the rear. signaled that
a perscope had been sighted. The
Nicholson rushed back in time TO see the
men aboard the Tanning dropping a
circle of depth charges around the place
where the U-boat had been seen last.
AS the Nicholson swept toward the
scene the submarine came in sight dl-
rectly ahead. Lieutenant Commander f.
d. Berrien decided not to risk his ship
by cutting the submarine in two, 50
swept close by the German boat, drop
ping a depth charge The Nicholson
then ~circed and fired several shots AT
the C-5S. The submarine was In bad
shape and the members Of the crew came
out on the deck in token of surrender
The captive German craft was towed to
Queenstown.
The daring of the submarine command
ers was illustrated by the attempt made
on the convoy by the C-5S. The incl
dent occurred less than ten miles out
of Queenstown, the Allied naval base In
Ireland
During the time the Nicholson was in
overseas service five different lieutenant
commanders We're in charge of the de-
stroyer. The Nicholson acquitted itself
wonderfully well.
