New York.—Contrast of the ocean
travel of a few yertrs ago when it was
but a pleasant and luxurious junket*
and practically the only danger was
the remote one of icebergs during a
certain season of the year, with the
thrills and perils* very real and in
tensely dramatic, that the ocean voy
ager now undergoes is afforded In an
interview given the New York World
by George Dwyer of this city.
In this regard it is one of the most
vivid first-person stories of passen
gers that have yet been recorded. Its
principal event is an actual battle
with a submarine, with the strong
possibility that the passenger steam
er sank it after firing 13 shots, to say
nothing of the revelation that it was
the merest chance—the slipping of a
pair of marine glasses in the hands of
the ship’s lookout—that revealed the
presence of the submarine and pre
vented the accurate firing by her of
a torpedo.
The publication of the name of the
steamship on which Mr. Dwyer un
derwent Ills experience Is withheld,
for on account of her many success
ful evasions of the submarines she
has been marked by the Germans as
un especial object of attack.
Mr. Dwyer has made many trips
abroad since the war began. He is
in the business of supplying walnut
wood for airplane propellers.
U-Boat Two Hours Out.
“The boat on which we sailed from
Europe,” said Mr. Dwyer, “an ordi
nary six-day ship, took eleven days to
bring us over, this being caused by
our having to hiy at anchor at dif
ferent places for periods of from
twelve hours to two days, after leav
ing our dock, under admiralty orders,
while the path which had been
mapped out for us was being cleared
of enemy undersea craft, which had
been sighted by the patrol boats
ahead.
“We made our departure on a warn
spring morning, sunny hut mi.^ty
Our course lay down a certain river
through which we sailed slowly
on account of the fog. In a few
hours we were over the bar and out
Into the waters of the lurking subma
rine. The vessel we were on was
armed heavily, both fore and aft, anil
while everybody aboard felt a tight
ening of the nerves, there was an at
mosphere of confidence that, if at
tacked, we would give a good account’
of ourselves—or our naval gun crews
would. On the bridge, at the gun
stations, everywhere, officers and
men kept a sharp lookout for peri
scopes.
“We were only two hours out when
our first thrill was experienced. We
were 'feeling our way slowly when
suddenly the naval lieutenant on the
bridge called to the starboard crew:
Tut the gun oit^ that!’ pointing to
where a little Norwegian steamer lay
trbout a half a mile ahead on our
right. The gun was swung around,
but I noticed that 1L was not trained
on the steamer, and I asked one of the
crew what he was covering. lie
pointed to a spot, and .there I saw a
little ripple which moved on the water |
close by the steamer. It was a sub
marine just under the surface.
“We expected to hear the com
mand to ‘fire,’ but the Norwegian
steamer suddenly got in front of the
ripple, screening It from our view.
We ordered her out of the •way, and
she promptly moved, but by that time
the ripple had disappeared. The spot
was watched carefully for some time,
but nothing more was seen.
“In the meantime, the actions of the
Norwegian ship were so suspicious
that our captain promptly sent a wire
less to have her taken in charge., Sev
eral weeks before that a steamer fly
ing the same flag and loaded with lum
ber was caught red-handed In the dead
o'f night laying mines, and every man-
jack of the 17 of the crew, were lined
up and shot.
Turned Back.
“The rest of the day passed without
incident, but at eight o’clock at night,
while under full heavy headway, we
descried a dim light some distance In
froi^t af us. As it got nearer we could
see' that it was a destroyer. She
hailed us and asked who we were. Our
bridge an wered, and she then said:
“Turn ar and and go bn?k to Blank
bay. Yo can’t go out t r..ght.”
We 1 dlately tur d around,
and, wli tall:)’ distance of
her. wer i the. reuse for our .be* *
lng detained. A snip two hours ahead
of us had been sunk, nnd during thnt
day six submarines hud been charted
in the waters for which we were
headed!
“The destroyer said she would load
us to our anchor for the night. She
warned us to follow her wake exact
ly, as we were In waters profusely
sown with mines. Needless to say,
we went slowly, and straight, and an
chored in the place picked out for us.
“An order given by an officer to a
Bailor was not reassuring: Tut two
men out instead of one. It is mo.ro '
dangerous here than out to sea.’ |
“And dangerous it seemed and
smelled I On shore searchlights were I
continually playing, and out of the ;
darkness Morse signals occasionally;
flashed.
“Next morning the weather was
warm and clear, and the sea perfectly
calm. All around us we saw the va
rious agencies at work to combat the
submarine, but it would not.be proper
for me to mention here the methods
and devices that are being used. i
“Along about noon we noticed some
thing of a commotion on the water ,
about a mile away, ships hurrying
and scurrying, und the boom of sev- |
oral guns being heard. What it was
all about we (the passengers) could
not: tell, but some time later it leaked’
out that it was a submarine trying to j
get into position to launch a torpedo I
at us. In this aim she was frus- ;
trated by the vigilance of the patrol '
and aircraft, which forced her uway j
from the locality.
■ 'Periscope!'
“At five that evening we got word
to sail. We had no escort, being left
entirely to the protection of our own
guns. As we passed out to sea we
were surprised to note an utter ab
sence of war or aircraft of any de
scription. It assuredly did not con
duce to our peace of mind. Our ship
was all eyes. Wherever you looked
there were lookouts, and passengers
vied with ship officers and men in
scanning the waters.
“At seven o’clock the lookout on the
port gun startled us all with the cry
of ‘Periscope!’ It was on the star
board side at .the time, and we rushed
across the deck in time to hear the
lieutenant from the bridge call:
'Two ! Let her go 1’
“We looked to where the boys were
pointing, and there, off our port beam,
about half a mile away, lay the peri
scope, standing about three feet out of
water. At the command ‘Lot her go!’
the gun was swung around, nnd In
loss than ten seconds wo had fired our
first-shell at her.
“Passengers hurried for their life
preservers, hut no one was unduly ex
cited. Some say the first shell we
fired hit her, but thnt was something
no one could tell. At any rate our
guns continued to fire for seven or
eight minutes, letting go thirteen
shells in all, and after that, there be
ing no further sign or sight of the U-
boat, we continued on our wny.
“The captain of our ship, at the first
warning, started to hit a zigzag
course, and all the other measures
now used on liners, to. circumvent the.
undorseu bouts were brought intfli
piny while the danger threatened.!
Some of these meusures are very)
novel and ingenious and have helped;
other ships as well as ours in warding
off ntlncks. It was the opinion on
board that to escape as we did, with
the periscope so near us was miracu
lous.
“The man who sighted the peri
scope was the lookout on the port
gun. He had been scanning t he
inters some time with his glasses
and was about to lay them down for
a minute’s rest. However, a whim
struck him to first count some ships
which lay together at anchor close to
the shore. He called to his mates as
he did so, beginning: ‘One—two’—
then his glasses accidentally slipped in
his grip and foil on the precise spot
where the periscope was just poking
up its nose. lie was so surprised
and taken aback that it was some sec
onds before he could blurt out ‘Peri
scope!’ No one else saw it, and
it is certain that if he did not spot it
at the moment ho did it would have
gained the necessary time to swing
into position to launch its torpedo.
Ruses to Lure Victims.
“The remainder of our trip passed
without exciting incident, although
we received the usual scares that are
passing up and down tlio ocean these
days.
“One of the ruses of submarines to
lure ships to destruction is to fit a
false exterior to the submarine and
equip her with a sail to present the
appearance of a small fishing boat.
Another is to put u collapsible lifeboat
in the water filled with dummy fig
ures to look like the survivors of a
torpedoed ship and hide the periscope
behind her. Another is to capture a
small vessel, put an officer aboard and
maneuver her to conceal from an ap
proaching ship the half-submerged
submarine which lies alongside.
There are others which it would not
be proper to disclose. A favorite
strategy of the submarine, which,
however, can only he worked at cer-
tain hours of the day, is to lay well
off in tlie path of the sea nnd when
a ship is seen and her course and
speed noted, to submerge and come up
suddenly at a convenient angle und „
torpedo her.”
