of an armed British niorcha.it ship,
the Dun raven was zig-zagging lei
course* in the lanes haunted by the
subm.ti ines when a U—Boat opened
fire upon her at 5,000 yards. The Dun
raven returned the fire with her mei
chant ship gun and reduced her speed
to enable the Hun to overtake her.
To («-ax him on, wireless signals were
sent out reading: "Help. Come quickb
submarine chasing and shelling me."
Finally w hen the submarine -
shells began falling close,•the Dun

party" abai doned the ship. The Dun
raven was then on fire aft and the
submarine »losed in to a distance ot
100 yards, but was partly obscur»*<l
from view by dense clouds ol smoke,
issuing from the Dunraven’s stern.
Although he knew that the maga
.ine must explode if he waited, and
h"* a gun and a gun’s crew lay con
cealed over the magazine, Captain
Campliell re :erved his fire until th.
uhmarine had passed clear of th*
