EPIC OF THE WAR.

FIGHT WITH GERMAN CRUISER.

CAPTAIN PRAISES HIS CREW

Captain S. M. Day, commander of the merchant vessel, the "Dundee," which during the war acted with the cruiser "Achilles" in tracing suspicious vessels, gave his own account of the fight with the German cruiser "Leopard" in 1917, which was related for the first time by the Prime Minister at the banquet of the Chamber of Shipping.

"We kept plugging away at the funnel base of the German ship, and seemed to be in some degree successful with this scheme, for the 'Leopard's' crew were quite disorganised, and the one broad- side they let off at the 'Achilles' went wildly astray. All this time we had been lying and manoeuvring three or four boat lengths to the stern of the 'Leopard' It now became the 'Achilles' fight, and for twenty- five minutes there was a fierce duel before the 'Leopard' sank with all hands.".

Captain Day, who was at the dinner, said: "I had no idea that my name was to be raentioned, and if I hadn't been an old man Captain Day was asked whe- I should have blushed, But I ther he was engaged in many, am glad because of the rightful more such encounters during the tribute to my crew, that the war.
