SHIP'S GUNNERS FIGHT U-BOAT FOR FIVE HOURS
London, To-day. ·
DETAILS OF THE SINKING of three U-boats were released yesterday afternoon. The first U-boat was sunk by an outward bound merchant ship. The submarine broke surface and attacked. The ship's guns were manned and for five hours the vessel was manoeuvred in such a way that it sustained no serious damage itself. The gunners, however, scored a direct hit on the U-boat and British destroyers, rushing hurriedly to the scene, completed its destruction.
The second U-boat was dealt with
in a similar manner by a homeward bound ship. Both ships, curiously. enough, were owned by the Pool Line, of Durham.
Details of the sinking of the third U-boat come from Lisbon, where the captain of the Norwegian ship Jenny (built in England) said that a U-boat stopped him and threatened to sink his, ship if he did not hand some food.

BOTTLE of SANATOGEN"
That is the opinion of one of the 25,000 physicians all over the world who have written to us praising the value of Sanatogen During and after illness it is a godsend. Sanatogen brings real health to the whole body and revitalizes the blood and nerve cells.
"I have been taking Sanatogen, and I cannot speak too highly of the benefit I have derived from it. My indigestion is gone, and I am a new man in every way," ---writes a grateful Sanetogen weer.
น
Prof. Mann, formerly of Oxford Uni- versity, concluded that a building-up process goes on in the nerves after the administration of Sanatogen". Why be weak and miserable; why be run-down, listless and nervous, when there is health in every bottle of Sanatogen? The change brought about by a short ́ course of Sanatogen will amaze you. Buy some to-day and enjoy your work and leisure to the full.
