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.” M*****++***+*++M+*M*****+* | 7 BROTHERS Df AD OR $ 5 HURT, PASTOR ENLISTS | £ — 5 J Greeneastle, Ind.—Rev.
