British Ship Escaped Torpedo — Opened Fire On Submarine.

HALIFAX, April 1-—(CP)—Crew- men oi the British tanker El Ciervo expressed belief today their ship had. sunk a German U-boat in a running gunfight off ’l'i-iiiiciad.

Alter 10' shots from tlie tankers gun had been fired at the sub- marine March 4, the tuidersca craft disappeared, and there have been no further reports of niai-aiiding

U-boats in the area where the battle was staged. Gunner Stanley Washington

said today he firiiily Believed his gun ciow had accounted for the Nazi raider with all hands. The submarine popped up from the sea just 40 yards away from the El Ciervo as she was l8 day's out of ‘Iiiiiécipool and heading for Trini- a .

Opened Fire As the tankers speed was in- creased, Washington said, she

opened ilrc. The first shot explod- ed a short distance from the sub- marine as she dropped astcrn.

The U-boat‘; answer was a tor- pedo. which sped undor the sur- face ship's counter. Then she sub- merged.

She came to the surface twice again, apparently trying to get liev deck gun linlhnbered. But each time the El Ciei-vos fire forced her below again.

Last of the i6 shots fired by the maker's gun came so close to the submarine many oi those aboard the tanker are convimcd she was put cut oi commission. But she was then three miles behind, and 1i was impossible to ascertain dei- lnltely the effect oi the shot.

At any rate, nner Washington recalled, those a ard the El Ciei-vo had n. hearty chuckle that same evening at the announcement oi Lord Haw Haw-the German broadcaster-that she bad been sunk by a U-boat with the lose oi
