three barges, get a fourth and their
tuf? on fire and dropped four shells
on the mainland. The action lastid
an hour and was unchallenged except
for tvfo hydroplanes from the Chat
ham Aviation Station, which cirrieii
over the U-boat, causing her to sub
merge, for a only a moment, to re
appeur and resume firing.
Of the 41 persons, including three
women and five children, on board,
three men Captain Charles Alnslie'
of tho Lanhford, and John nolevirh
and John Vltz, Austrian members of
the tug crew, were wounded. Dolovlch

Bent to the Massachusetts General
Hospital. In Dnston. Captain Alnslin
was wounded in both arms by ,!nap
nel and was treated at the summer
home of Dr. J. Danforth Taylor, ot
Boston.
The attack was witnessed by large
crowds of natives and summer vls.
tors, who had flocked to the cape for
the week-end, seeking relief from the
heat wave. All accounts agreed that
the submarine's shooting was very
bad. Jler torpedo work wns no hm.
ter. According' to Captain Alnslie, of
the Lansford, she launched three tor
pedoes at the tug and all went wild.
The attack occurred a few miles
from the naval aviation station at
Chatham. Three seanlanes attacked
the raider with bombs, according to
Hear Admiral Spencer S. Wood, com
mander of the first naval district.
The fire was returned, keeping the
planes high. Finally, however, the V.
boat submerged and was last observed
heading south.
The net results of the raid was the
sinking of barges valued in the ag
piegute -at JflO.OOO, and the serious
damaging of a tug valued at ?100.('e.i
at the expenditure ol' three torpedoes
which" It Is estimated post the German
Government n total of $ 15,000 and a
quantity of ammunition.
The appearance of the raider so
near the treacherous shoals and tide
rips of the cape and her subsequent
actions caused amazement to the
thousands of eye-wltncsses rather
than consternation.
The barges were in tow of the tiis
Perth Amboy, owned by the I.ehi;:h
Valley Railroad, and were bound from
Gloucester for New York. One was
loaded with stone, but the others were
light, being on their return trip after
bringing coal to New England. A fog
bank lying four miles off shore hid
the U-boat from her approaching vic
tims. The one-sided fight took place three
miles south of the Orleans coast guard
nation, which is located midway be
tween Chatham, at the Elbow, and
Highland Light, at the extreme tip of
the Cape. The firing was heard for
miles and brought thousands to the
beach, from which the flashes of the
guns and the outline of the U-bnat
were plainly vislblo. Possible danger
to the onlookers was not thought of
until a shell whizzed over their
heads and uplashed in a pond, a
mile inland. Three other shells buried
themselves In tho sands of the beach.
