Three Women and Children Escape U Boat Attack off Cape Cod
A German submarine shelled a tug and four barges off Orleans near Cape Cod, forcing lifeboat evacuations as shells ignited a fire aboard the Perth Amboy. Forty-one aboard, including three women and five children, fled in lifeboats with minor injuries and one Austrian sailor hurt. Two hydroplanes from Chatham briefly engaged the U boat, which submerged and reemerged. Survivors were transported to hospitals in Boston as the attack drew onlookers along the beach.
