German Submarine Attacks Passenger Ship Orduna
The British passenger liner Orduna with 227 aboard including 21 Americans was torpedoed and shelled by a German submarine near 61 degrees west in thick early morning. Passengers and crew, including Captain Thomas McComb Taylor and Baron Rosenkrantz, faced two to five minute intervals of shellfire as lifeboats were prepared and orders calmly executed. The attack, witnessed by several on deck, prompted a warning call and a dramatic chase by the submarine, with the Orduna zigzagging to safety toward New York.
