A A devastating fire was diverted at the U-boats from guns on the con- voying ships, units of the United States navy, and from guns on the transports. While all of the .trans- ports came safely through the fight, which is described as a hummer, report is that four of the subma- rines were cunk and that the majority of the members of the crews of the German boats were lost. In the thick of the fight three sea- planes flashed across the sky and be- gan dropping bombs the U-boats, adding materially to the vengeance:that was being visited upon them. ‘The transport on which Dr. Kent was a passenger had 5,000 men aboard. It was in the thick of the fight and the guns on its deck barked death at the submarines that were endeavoring to send it to the bottom. Tp to the time of the attack by sub- marines the trip across had been de- lightful and was not marked by any excitment. Then came the sensa- tional fight right in sight of the French NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1917 ¢ coast.
