ships Light we discovered a sub- marine approaching us. It was evident that her intention was to intercept me. I immediately gave orders to run for shore, and for about 20 minutes or half an bour the submarine followed us. Then apparently deciding that our spced was too great for him, the commander of the submarino gave up the chase. We continued at fall speed for about a couple of hours autil dark. Then, with lights out, I tarned the vessel round again, and proceeded on the voyage to Glasgow, Oce of the officers of the ship gives the following so count: We left Ymuiden at day- break on 2nd inst. On the after- nnon of 4th at 5:30, when one mile past the Longships Light, near Land's End, a submarine was sighted on our starboard bow mak- ing a course at right angles to the Ningchow, so as to cut us off, and
between one and two miles ahead.. Owing to the fact that there were six neutral ships ahead of ns, and to attain the speed necessary to cat us off, the submarine, which was of a large type, found it necessary to come to the surface. The order was given to starboard' the helm, and the Ningchow came back on her tracks. The submarine at the same time. altered her course to osteh us." The chase lasted 20 minutes. By that time, owing to the speed which we had then attained, the submarine saw it was useless to continue the pursuit. Ordera were given for all possible speed when the submarine was first. seon, and it is without a doubt owing to the splendid way in which the onginoore responded to this order that the Ningchow; was saved, The Ningchow was on her way from Amsterdam to
Glasgow. No attempt was made to fly any neutral flag. The British enaign was kept flying throughout. Great coolness was shown by the commander, officers, and crew.
