THE SUBMARINE PIRACY.

ATTACK ON THE ORDUNA

SUBMARINE SCREENED BY

AMERICAN SHIP

New York, July 18

Passengers state that the submarine was in hiding behind a ship, apparently the American ship Normanby.

Captain .Taylor became suspicious, and changed the Orduna's course. The white stream of a torpedo was then seen. Tt passed 20 yards astern. The submarine opened fire 20 minutes later.

Captain Taylor constantly swerved, keeping the liner's stern towards the submarine.

The - "New York Herald" protested last week against the brutal effronery "of the commander of a German submarine in compelling the American barque Normanby to act as a mask while Russian merchantmen were sunk. It demanded a prompt disavowal and apology for the Normanby's temporary arrest.
