rwo THRILlilS ESCAPE [DMSUBMAiWE America"} Steamer Roaches French Port W'V: 7 WoundAH O Q ^i/v IC'V/ V E> './i ! JviOi J I'- S- TQHFEDO EG AT SAVES DOOMED SHIP i U Boat Dives Just as Vessels Ermines are Disabled? Fight Fire, Too. A French Seaport.?Escaping from a Gorman submarine after a bitter fight, lasting nearly four hours, and with seven of her crew wounded, two of them seriously, an American steam er arrived here this morning from an American port. The timely intervention of an American torpedo boat alone saved the ship from being sent to the bottom. A few hours after the vessel had entered the danger zone, a lookout sighted a submarine on the port bow. but before he had time to report its presence the submarine fired a shut which missed the stern of the ship by only a few ya~ds. The captain immediately sent out a wireless call for assistance as the position of the submarine was such that escape was iitorh- inmftticihlo Shots Fall Short. The gun crews of the subr.aiino and the steamer then began to exchange shots. The chief gunner of the steamer opened fire at a range o4' 9 000 yards, but all the shots fel' short. The submarine kept maneuvering to keep out of the range of the steamer's guns, at the same time maintaining a running fire in an effort to disable them. The merchant ship, after altering her course, start\Gd at full speed in an attempt to escape. The stubbomess of the battle is N^da-ated by the fact that the submarine fired 234 shots at the steamer, hich respon Jed with more than 2^0 shots, & .'Shhrp ttetidered Helpless. T. After the fight had continued for fohaut two hours and several shots had stnuick the ship, wounding four men, cne shell bit the vessel and exploded in the engine room, putting the en grre*. v>ut of " urmissior. and rendering the ship he'pi ess. The German tKfiMMnnrlor f nn rinnronphwl nrrtl'OV and the submarine continued to la'n shdls upon ho d.sable' craft. A high sea wns rurni c; at the time and there iveemct h'tt'e he no of saving the ship, vren a low streak of black sniok? w is sighted or the ho**'ron.

' l ar.ee. She immetiatoly made for the submarine, which dived and disappeared beneath the surface. The American warship circled about the spot, oJmpping a few depth charges, but no more signs of tho U-boat were seen. While coming to the steamer's assistance the destroyer kept sending assuring messages, such as "hold on," "stick, we are coming." ' The steamer's wireless apparatus, "however had been disabled soon after the fight began and the messages never were received, so that the arrival of the American destroyer was quite unexpected. The submarine apparently w~as aware of the destroyer's p-Ci ence because she submerged bofere the dr troyer eou'd get within ra n tre.

Detycns, was aboard the American destroyer Cassin which was featured in war reports as having been struck by a German submarine while at a patrol station "somewhere at sea." i Clarence Gould, a 21 year old soldier of Camp Jackson is in serious trouble if the charges against him arc pushed. Last week, it is said, his eyes fell upon a Buick car that was left on Main Street, and he took a notion to take a trip. He made the get away but was rounded up at Marietta, a distance of about 20 miles from Atlanta. Capt. W. W. Irby of the Columbia police department went after the young man and th.ev rolled back Monday. The South Carolina Optical Association met in tenth annual convention in Cloumbia last week. Probably the biggest financial transaction of the kind that ever took place in Newberry was piP through by C. J. Purcell when he sold to Cooper & Griffin of Greenville 1,-100 balc> o. cotton at 2S cents a pound. One of the most attractive as wed as one of the most important exh'b its at the Stlltfl feii* wjk flint /^n KIi.l protection which was arranged by Miss Belle Williams, chairman of thrbird committee of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, in cooperation with the National Association of Au dubon Societies. The high price of cotton and th> good crop made around Blnckville ha : placed the farmers in fine shape and great preparations are being made for the 1018 crop. Liberty bonds have been sold "t Mayesville to the amount of $8,000. The negroes are taking nearly half < the amount sold. j The war department partially cor?finned dispatches sent South that many of the troops from Nortlrevn camps would soon be transferred; to warmer climates. o ^^^^^TOIvIETRIST?
