THE PIRATE ON THE HIGH SEAS
HOW THE ORDUNA WAS ATTACKED
By Megraph—Press Association—Copyright
Now York, July 18. Passengers by the steamer Orduna, which (as reported yesterday) escaped from a German submarine which attempted to sink her, state that the submarine was hiding behind a ship, apparently the American barque Normanby. Captain Taylor became suspicious, and changed the Orduna's course. The white stream of the torpedo was then seen. It ■passed twenty yards astern. The submarine opened fire twenty minutes later. Captain Taylor constantly swerved, keeping .the; liner's stern towards the submarine.
[The "New: York Herald'.' protested last week against the brutal effrontery of. the commander of a German submarine in compelling the American barque Normanby. to act as a mask while a Russian merchantman was Bunk. The "Herald" demanded a prompt disavowal and apology for the Normanby's temporary arrest.] (Bee. July 19,11.40 p.m.) New York, July 19. The "New York Herald," commenting on the Orduna incident, says: "Civilisation cannot show a case of such brazen effrontery, or such evil duplicity. It is evident that Germany is trifling with the United States."
