Joe,

as Michael wrote, some of the vessels listed in LWL for sure where NOT damaged, so the fact that ANTINOUS is listed by Lloyds isn't any proof that this was the case on 01.09.1916 (not 02.09., see below).

BUT (Michael):
TNA records show that indeed ANTINOUS received one hit from U 38's deck gun, but of course continued her way ...

ANTINOUS (Cpt. Fishwick), voyage Torre Annunziata - Gibraltar - New York, water ballast, missed by torpedo from U 38 on Oct. 1st, 1916, 4.20 p.m. (German time), than in a short gunfight with U 38 received one hit.

Position 5 miles N Cap Tedles (37°00‘N-04°08‘E), steamer was equipped with a 3-pdr. gun which fired 28 shots against U 38.
