Captain Emery Rice, whose ship fired the first shot at an enemy submarine in World War I, graduated from the Massachusetts Nautical School in 1897 and started to sea with the International Navigation Company. When the Spanish-American War broke out Rice was a quarter- master aboard the S.S. New York. He remained with that vessel when she was taken over by the Navy and renamed the U.S.S. Harvard. From her bridge he signalled to Admiral Sampson the approach of the Spanish fleet. After the war Rice served in the American Line until 1901 when he went around Cape Horn to San Francisco. Three years later he was certified as a master and came to command the Zafiro, the China and the Mongolia. His record in Pacific waters included the rescue of fourteen fishermen during a typhoon. In 1916 Captain Rice brought the Mongolia around the Horn to enter the hazardous Trans-Atlantic run carrying munitions. After our entrance into the war the following year his ship was armed and on April 19, 1917, in the English Channel, scored our first hit on a submarine. Captain Rice continued to sail his vessel across the submarine-infested waters of the Atlantic making eighty-two crossings. His untimely death in 1919 closed a brilliant career. The Navy Cross, awarded posthumously, is among his decorations, which include medals for service in the Spanish-American War and one for distinguished service while commanding the Mongolia. I OF CAPTAIN EMERY RICE 11
