New York, Juns 3.—Two German submarines made a concerted torpedo attack on the American line steamship Kroonland on her last outward voyage from this port, firing four torpedoes, two of which hit the liner glancing biows, but did not explode, according to a report brought here today by &n American, recently in England, who said he was told of the attack by an officer of the ship. The liner was nearing the British coast, the American was informed, when two torpedoes, fired from oppo- site sides of the vessel from submerged U-boats, were seen. Both torpedoes missed the bow of the ship by iess than 20 feet. The Kroonland was al- ready going at high speed and _the navigating officer on the bridge #ave orders to zigzag. Quickly two more torpedoes were launched. This time the aim of the Germans was better, but the missiles barely touched the sides of the liner. but the blows were not sufficiently direct to explode the contact detonators in the torpedoes. The naval gunners on the Kroonland opened fire at the unseen targets, send- ing explosive shells into the water at the point where it was judged the sub- mersibles were when the torpedoes were launched, but so far as known no hits were recorded.
