The Action of 14 October was a naval engagement of the First World War when the Imperial German Navy submarine attacked the Portuguese civilian steamer ''São Miguel'' and the Portuguese Navy naval trawler NRP ''Augusto de Castilho'' in the Atlantic Ocean on 14 October 1918.〔James H. Guill, "''the only battle of note that occurred near the Azores during this period took place 14 October 1918 between the German U-139 and Portugal's ships São Miguel and Augusto Castilho.''", page 507.〕 ==Background== On the island of Madeira, the Portuguese patrol boat NRP ''Augusto de Castilho'' under the command of the First Lieutenant Carvalho de Araújo received the mission of escorting the Portuguese civilian steamer ''São Miguel'', which was property of the ''Empresa Insulana de Navegação'' and was sailing from the port of Funchal in Madeira to the port of Ponta Delgada on the Azores archipelago, with 206 passengers and several tons of cargo on board.〔(Atlântico Norte (14 de Outubro de 1918) ) 〕 The NRP ''Augusto de Castilho'', originally the fishing trawler ''Elite'', built in 1909, had been requisitioned by the Portuguese government and transferred to the service of the Portuguese Navy which adapted it to serve as an escort ship following Portugal's entering into the war in 1916.〔Saturnino Monteiro, page 141.〕 The ship was equipped with two small Hotchkiss cannons, one of 65 mm on the bow and another of 47mm on the stern.〔
