German destroyers come to the rescue of the crew of the sinking German cruiser Hela torpedoed by the British Submarine E9. Early on the morning of Sunday September 13th 1914, while cruising with another submarine. Lieutenant commander Max Kennedy Horton sighted a German cruiser Hela steaming out from Wilhelmshaven. As she came nearer, the two submarines dived right down. Presently the E9 came up again, and Lieutenant commander Horton took his bearings, and in quick succession gave the orders to dive and to release the two bow torpedoes. A muffled report and slight roll of the submarine told that one of the torpedoes had found its mark. The E9 promptly dived and waited below for fifteen minutes. On coming up again the Hela was seen with a heavy list to starboard, and a number of ships had arrived to take off the crew and hunt for her assailant. |
