NINE DAYS’ RUN
LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 12.—A
little thing like stripping the gears of
all the forward speeds in his car was
not going to stop Abraham laubc,
who had got as far as Needle, ( al., in
a trans-continental automobile trip
with his family from Portland, Maine.
So he threw in the reverse gear and
for nine days backed slowly until he
reached Los Angeles.

STEAMER SINKS
TEUTONIC ‘SUB’
SAX FRANCISCO, April 12.—A
battle between a German submarine
and the Standard Oil company’s tink
er Sequoya, benzine laden, ofT the
! English coast, was revealed for tU
first time on the arrival here of tha
steamer from London, England.
The battle ended in victory for the
i Sequoya after twenty minutes of
furious shelling, the submarine going
down in a volcano of smoke and flame.
A 4.7-inch shell aimed by the gun
| ners on the Sequoya had hit its mark.
The submarine’s magazine chambers
exploded, water flooded the chambers
and the finger of death directed the
U-boat to a grave with the Lusitania
! and Laconia.
One dead, three wounded and
1 bridge, wheelhouse and lifeboat
smashed and peppered by explosive
| shells, constituted the toll aboard the
! Sequoya.
Graphic details of the battle wen*
told by the officers of the vessel.
“We first saw the submarine at day
light,” said Chief Officer Weeks. “We
had no warning until a shot shattered
the bridge.
“The submarine was less than a
mile away. Captain James ordered
the gunners aboard to return the tire.
“A second shot hit us. A piece of
shrapnel tore olT the top of Captain
James’ hat and splintered the steel
work on the bridge.
“The gunners trained the guns of
the Sequoya on the submersible, and
two shots were fired without effect.
“Meanwhile, a third shot, carrying
! death in its wake, came from the sub
marine. One of the crew had just
\ stepped out of the companion way
I from the cabin. His head was almost
| severed. Shrapnel flew around the
' deck like hailstones. Two more shots
| were fired b>\ the submarine. Shrap
nel wounded three of our crew.
1 “It was our fifth shot which told.
A flame shot up from the conning
tower of the submarine, black smoke
arose, the echo of an explosion was;
heard aboard the Sequoya and the
i submarine rolled over and disap
peared. A whirpool of water af.d oil
marked the spot of the boat’s last
dive.
“An admiralty investigation was
conducted when we reached our port
in England, but it was kept secret.
Had one of the shots hit our benzine
tanks all on board would have been
blow to atoms.’
The Sequoya is American owned,
but of British registry.
