(Formerly the old New Torh of the so-called Flying Squadron of Spanish War days.) The Rochester, Captain A. W. Hinds in command, was in station 1,000 yards ahead of the convoy. The se^ was smooth, with a light breeze from SE by E. The moon was practically full. The combination of bright moonlight and twilight made excellent visibility condi- tions for submarine attack and the enemy was further favored by the slow speed of the convoy. The destroyer escort had not yet joined up. At 9.42 P. M. the... Atlcmtim, the "Van'' ship on the right flank, suddenly opened fire, and at the same time a column of water shot up along her starboard side, fol- lowed by the dull report from the exploded torpedo. Captain Hinds at once ordered full right rudder, sounded to torpedo defense quarters, rang up full speed and headed toward the submarine. Jn that latitude the four-hour night combined with the bright moon and long twilight made it imperative to attack and drive the sub- marine down or ship after ship might have been picked off at the enemy's convenience.
