"The Bruke was conned with the inten- tion of ramming the destroyer against which we had launched a torpedo, but before the bad stendied in her course the controlling officer opened rapid, indepen dent fire with our foremost guns owing to the shortness. of range.

Many of them chambered up our bow and got on to the forecastle, to meet with instant death from our well-armed stamen and stokers. I do not believe," continued Captain Evans the enemy boarded us with the idea of inflicting
