At dawn, when the t nearing the nsport was French coast, two sub. marines were seen right ahead, just awash, and shortly afterwards two more appeared on the starboard side, two on the guarter, and two others a little distance away on the beam. They were all on the starboard side of the transport, which was the one away from the destroyers and the submarine commanders had appar- ently come to the surface prepared to fight the two destroyers and sink the transport. Directly the first submarine was sighted the naval gun crew on the transport fired a shell from the six- inch gun forward on the starboard and hit the conning tower of the U-boat squarely. This was followed by a second shot that struck the un- dersea craft amidships, and down she went with all her crew. By this time the destroyers had got to work and sunk second submarine by shellfire while the other U-boats were shoot- ing torpedoes at the transport, which escaped them by rapid zig- ing at top speed well over twenty knots.

The officer added that the U-boats which attacked the transport this time were of the latest miniature cruiser type, and carried two = six- inch Krupp guns, one at either end, and two quick firers on either side of the conning tower forward.
