80-4 THE U-140, 81 action and offered the suggestion, in order to prevent unnecessary waste of life, thatthe ship be abandoned. The captain agreed to this suggestion and the ship wasabandonea in good shape. Tlie captains boat, in which I left the ship, was lield alongside the ship as longa? we thought it proper to hold her there. By the time we joined the other boats,which were lying about a quarter of a mile off the ship waiting for us, the submarinehad steamed to a position quite close to the other boats. I was never less than 250yarts from the submarine, but I tried to observe all I could of her construction andgeneral appearance. The submarine passed our boats as she went to take up herposition to sink the ship, which she did by firing three salvos of two rounds each froma distance of about .00 jards, and the ship immediately commenced to list to portand finally sank on her port side abotit 15 minutes after the first salvo had been fired.Wlien the ship sank we were about 600 yards
