Since her departure for Buropean waters tn the spring of 1917 the Seneca has rescued 511 per- sons from torpedoed ships, engage) in fifteen battles with submarines, in the course of which forty-si torpedoes were discharged at her and lost eleven members of her crew, in- cluding Billy Boyce, for many years engineer of the revenue cutter Calu- met, who was one of the best known men along the waterfront of New York. ‘ The Seneca was a famous ship be- fore she was sent abroad with the pioneers of the American fleet whiclt fought against Germany.

As the Cowslip was sinking the Seneca, which happened to be in the vicinity, headed toward her, The ommander of the Cowslip signalled that there were four submarines in the immediate vicinity and warned Com- mander Wheeler to keep away and run for it, Instead, Commander Wheeler ordered his gun crews to their stations, and, firing continually at anything that looked Ike a peri- and dropping depth bombs every few minutes, he steamed to the side of the sinking torpedo boat and rescued the entire crew, Commander Wheeler returned to the United Sta a short time aga and the Seneca is now commanded by Capt.
