A British patrol vessel then appeared; the submarine fired a signal to attract its attention and vanished under water, leaving the patrol vessel to rescue the Housatonic's crew. According to the new order given the submarines the Housatonic ought to have been sunk without warning. It was not repeated. No such shrift was accorded British vessels, whether Americans were on board them or not.
When the explosion took place the ship trembled all over as if by the shock of an earthquake, and seemed to be lifted out of the water, and then sank stern foremost, heeling to port as she went down. Only a part of the Housatonic's complement was saved. Of the Hundley no trace was discovered and she was believed to have escaped.
