London, Sept. 21. INKING of a German transport by the submarine Sturgeon is described by officers of the latter.
The submarine went up the Skaggerak and got into position early in the morning of September 2.
It was blowing hard. At dusk a hydrophone operator said he heard the faint sound of a ship.
The Sturgeon submerged and a few minutes later two small Ger~ man destroyers were sighted. Just afterwards a large transport some distance away was silhouetted against the light of the setting sun, The submarine's crew went to diving stations, brought torpedo tubes be ready and fired as the transport was going away from them.
The submarine submerged immediately and soon afterwards came up, finding everything quiet. The transport was steaming on with her escorting destroyers.
