We had just passed a convoy when a wreck was sighted. A German submarine was hiding behind the wreck and was lying in wait for the convoy. The sub fired a torpedo at our ship, but because of the unusual construction of the Icarus <it has two funnels) the sub thought we were a destroyed and miscalculated our length. The torpedo exploded in the ship’s wake. It was an electric torpedo, the first known use' of this type. Up to then, when a ship was fired upon it didn’t know what it hit. “I was ia my buuh when the torpedo exploded end the impact wa* so great I nearly hit the ceiling. We immediately manned oar bnttlo stations. I, being the sonnd operator, went to the sound station. Three depth charges were dropped, set for 100 feet, 200 feet and 300 feet. The second depth charge made contact and jammed the ballast tanks son-pending the sub at 200 feet. The thM depth charge, set at 300 feet, hit the deck of the sub, rolled off and exploded underneath. The explosion forced the sub to the surface 600 yards to the rear of the Icarus. The submarine was manned with heavier guns than the Icarus, but a nineteen-year-old gunner picked off the gun crew of the enemy with a .50-calibre machine gun. The kid broke down later because he had killed so many men. The sub_ sank with some of the men trapped below. The skipper wasn’t going to pick up survivor* because of the other subs lurking in the area, but Washington wired ns to pick up ns many survivor« as possible. We took thirtyAwn prisoners.” Art’s home is in Chicago.
