Now that darkness had fallen the huge searchlight of the German
cruiser played full upon the Lena. Suddenly Jack and Frank felt a
terrific shock, and the Lena, for a moment, seemed to pause in her
stride. A shell had struck the stem of the vessel. There was an
explosion and a single high mast crashed to the deck.
Apparently angered at this German success, the second British
destroyer, the Angelic, darted forward and attacked the submarine
with such abandon and effectiveness that she was forced to give the
destroyer its entire attention. Twice the Angelic maneuvered out of
the path of a torpedo, and then, with a well directed shot, put the
submarine out of the battle. This shell caught the U-boat along
side the conning tower. Iron and steel flew high in the air, and,
descending, scattered death among the crew. Thus crippled, a second
shot from the Angelic disposed of her entirely and she sank beneath
the waves.
