The decoy ship Pargust with Camp
bell in command was torpedoed on
June 7, 1917, while disguised as a;
^British merchant vessel. The submar '
ine came within fifty yards of the [
Pargust which then opened fire on her]
with all guns. The submarine crewj
poured out of the conning tower and j
held up their hands in token of sue- j

away trying to escape in the mist The?
Pargust again opened fire on her and!
sunk her with one man clinging to]
her bow as she went down. The decoy j
vessel was towed back to port by
American destroyers. Two Victoria
Crosses were awarded for this sue-!
