Cairo, June 27.
Although torpedoed, a British freighter suc@peded in sinking her U-boat attacker before she sank, it was announced here today.
Two hours after the torpedo struck her, orders were given the ship's crew to take to the boats, All but the gunners obeyed orders.
The U-boat saw tle British seamen taking to their lifeboats and came to the surface close by. The gunners aboard the merchantman thereupon went into action and, just a few minutes before they themselves were compelled to leave their ship, sank the submarine—Havas.
