AMERICANS BELIEVED ABOARD
U-BOAT DE8TROYED BY

TANKER FOUGHT TO THE LAST
Survivors of the Campana Reach Port
on Warship and Tell of Des-
perate Fight With German
Submarine.
An Atlantic Port, Aug. 24. Five
U. S. navy gunners as well as the Im
prisoned captain of the Standard Oil
tanker Campana may have died in the
submarine U-2, which sank the vessel,
according to Third Olllcor J. LI. Bruce,
who, with 40 members of the ships
crew and eight of the gun crow, ar
rived here on u French steamship.
It had been feared that tho five naval
gunners, captured when the Campana
was sunk, would be treated by the Ger
mans as pirates (as threatened) and
executed with short shrift.
However, according to the story
brought by the survivors, a French
war vessel sent to the bottom a Ger
man dive, whlchmny have been the
ono that sank the Campana, in a brief
time after It had put an end to the
Campana and nt about the same spot,
without taking anyone off.
Tho Campana, It seems, fought off
the U-boat until Its ummunltlon was
exhausted. ' One hundred and eighty
shots were fired by tho tunker, against
400 by the diver, two of which hit.
The battle began at 5 a. m. and was
wnged for four hours at a range of
between 7,300 and 7,r00 yards. fc
After the Cumpnna hoisted the in
ternational signnl of surrender, Its last
shell gone, tho submurine continued to
Ore, Mr. Hrucc said, and nil hands took
to tho boats.
The U-boat commander first ap
proached the boat commanded by Mr.
Bruce, which had aboard tho Cam
pann's 13 naval gunners, and ordered
It alongside, lie then went to the life
boat occupied by Capt. Albert Oliver
of the Campana, and took him prisoner
with five of the gunners.
Bruce and his men were rescued bj
n French warship.
The warship took them aboard and
landed them In Frnnce. Mr. Bruce
said he wns told by nn officer of the
war vessel that he hnd heard a wire
less message from another French
cruiser, saying that It hnd sunk n Ger
man submarine In the vicinity of the
place where the Cumpnna had been
sunk.
