the rest of the convoy, but the trouble
had been fixed up and she was fas4
catching- np with the oilier transports
when a torpedo hit her just forward
of the engine room.
The vessel at onee began to sink by
the bow. Jinny of the soldiers at the
time were taking baths. They did not
wait to dress, but made for the deck
with what little elotlimg they eonld
hastily lay their hands on. The
water was rushing in at such a rate
that it was thought the steamer
would quickly founder.
To the surprise of most of the sol
diers the troop ship did not sink.
Some means apparently were found
to check the inrush of water and she
got near enough to the shore to be
heached. It is ohped that the vessel
ultimately can be salvaged.
To aid in caring for the men here,
the American Red Cross rushed in
large quantities of supplies from
London.

American soldiers from the troop
ship which was torpedoed last Fri
day off the English coast, but was
not sunk and upon which there were
no casualties, have arrived here none
the worse for f heir thrilling exper
ience. The men are finding some consola
tion for the loss of their vessel in
the assurance that the submarine that
attacked her suffered' a far worse
fate at the hands of the avenging de
stroyers which were speedily on the
scene hunting the U-boat with depth
charges. '
