4H British Submarine Fired on by Ship It Warns of Mine Field IR 5 sen o+ Getta Ouly 'One Daager of Brave Undersea Fighters. By JOEN 8, MAGERIEON It would be wrong to suggbst that thoee British sailormen who go down to the sea In submarines are any braver than those who work in sur face ships, but to say that these men get their full whack—and something more—of thrills is strictly true. Take, for instance, the submarine which rose at the very edge of a mine fleld with the obvious intention of warning a homeward-bound tramp steamer of the proximity of danger, only to be fired upon immediately by the tramp's gun—the first shell from which plunged into the sea alongside her and smothered her lieutenant in spray. A second shell just whistled past and took off the lieutenant’s cap, while a third wrenched the hastily waved white ensign flat from his hand—the skipper of the tramp had seen just as his gunlayer pressed his trigger. The experience was hardly caleu- Jated to arouse human kindliness in the submarine commander's breast, yet in plain view of the surface he crulsed over to the now-stopped tramp, told her of her danger, and afterwards indulged in a furious dla tribe, wherein he cuttingly summed up the tramp's ancestry, described her personal attributes, and finally prophesied an indescent end for, her and all aboard her, after which she gank to the sea bed and allowed the speechless crew to take the careless cargo ship on its proper way. 'l‘he’ realization of the thrill came when the submarine's crew understood that ‘ if their skipper had not been exceed ingly smart with that ensign the stramp’s gun would have made a col lander of her plates, and sent those who were bept on defending her to the bottom without hope of escape. Close Escapes Common. A thrill of quite a different kind was experlenced in a certain boat working in the shallow waters off the Belgian CohAst—among the mine fields and other defences set up byi the enemy. At*times she found her self in deep water, at others in shal- l low, and at all times and seasons there were passing German craft, only too eager to end her venture some eéxistence. On one occasion sghe wag compelled to rise swiftly to avoid running her nose into a mudbahk, and as her conning tower was ahbove the surface, her commander thought he would fill his lungs and boat with fresh air, as well as have a look around, % As he emerged he glanced aft, and the blood froze in his veins when he saw, lying on the flat deck of the submarine’s after part, a huge round object with things jutting out at va rious angles. The object was a mine. The submarine had risen exactly un derneath it and brought it to the top with her. The position was fraught with the gravest danger, for a lurch would have ‘brought one of those prejecting horng into sharp contuct‘ with the hull plating and-—pouff! | boat, crew and mine would have gone to glory in a shower of splinters. I And the boat could not submerge Just then, although the Hun seaplane haa already spotted her and was working over at full speed to bomb her, because there wasn't enough ‘water under keel to hide her, So, with his breath held and his finger tips pressed together, that commander stood on his conning tower top and sent his boat ahead softly, keeping one eye on the mine and the other on the approaching ai*plane. The latter drew overhead - and immediately dropred a bomb, whose explosion sent up a great wave which lapped thun derously over the 13-beat's whaleback ~—and washed that dreadful mine clean off into deep water and safety. . Thereafter that submarine per formed a hasty dive into the first deep water, and sat on the bottom *while her soul-thrilled commander co!)back his breath, 5 f a different order was the adven ture of the crew of another subma rine which, working in the North Sea in a fog, audden!g ran into something hard and unyielding, and a moment later was asked very impolitely in German where the hades she was running to, and if she had bought the oean. The British lleutenant in command gasped, and then in precise German poured forth a full and fitting reply, threatening the trawler—for such was the ship—with all sorts of fearful penalties for having dared to speak thus to a submarine. Furthermore, he commanded the enemy vessel to {ling overside a hawser to make fast his baat and a ladder whereby he might ‘ascerd to her decks. Ten minutes later the commander led a cutlass-armed and very angry score of British seamen up the lad der to ask very. nicely for the Teu ten's surrender. That thrill ended by the armad trawler, which was also a mine layer, voyaging to Britain under her own stean, manned by a dozen elated Britons, and shepherded by the “submarine with the bent nose. It was also in a fog that E-ump teen found herself high and dry on a shoal off the Schleswig-Holstein eoast. SBhe could dut wait for the tide ~ to refloat n:r, and meanwhile her ~ crew took the opportunity to secure a .much needed rest. Came along an enemy destroyem, who asked her her tusiness, and unfortunately this sub - marine commander spoke no German. But he had a ready wit, and an swered that he had no busines sthere, You apply a Ilttla Poslam on some affected part at night.

Anl surrender he did, though neither he nor his men gave up thnlr} stout Webley pistols, which they had | concealed about their persons, to use later with such good effect that when they were transshipped in the de stroyer's hoats to the bigger ship the German was fain to perform the “kamerad” stant in his turn. | Then the destroyer's new com mander kept his captured craftthang ing around till the tide rose, hitched a hawser to his own submarine and tawed her off, finally bitnging that inquisitive hostile bird home with his own craft in attendance. A Marvellous Escape. But a thrill which even the sub marine service refers to with bated breath was that experienced by a ‘certain officer whose boat, rammed in the bows, suddenly lost all her uta-‘ bility and fell headlong to the sea bed with all her crew. Though only damaged across the torpedo tubes, and though the water was pourlngJ into her but slowly, she refused to rise, and her crew knew that unless they moved exceedingly smartly they must shortly die from suffocation or drowning. The commander mads his men put on their life-saving helmets then, flooding the boat with compressed air, he shot them one by one in a gi gantic bubble to the surface. At last all had gone and only he remained— remained without any means of get ting to the surface. He was in de spair, but he had strong objections to dying in such a tame fashion when there was so much thrilling work t be done in the world—when the first real war of centurieg was being wag ed. So he made a great fight for life. He emptied every compressed alr flask in the boat, but failed to get pressure enough to work the conning tower door. When he tried the hand gear a defect in the lever manifested itzelf, and it snapped off like a rot ten carrot in his hands. Then he took the great resnlve——to.stnke all on a last cast of the dice” He would let the sea water into the boat more rap idly, knowing that 'as the water got higher and higher in the hull the air above it would become sufficiently compressed to enable him to open the torpedo hatch, which would keep the pressure of the sea at bay till he could get out. 1 Minute after minute he stood there, with the water rising, slowly rising, to his ankles, hls knees, his waist, his chest, his chin. He decided that he had got sufficient pressure, and made his first attempt to open the hatch., It gave three inches only, and almost all his precious alr escap ed in useles bubbles. ’ It was enough to make anyone give up—but not our commander. Again he waited—waited with the compressed alr scorching his lungs— ‘with ten thousand little red deviis ‘hammering at his head and his heart ‘beating like a great steam pump. ‘Now he had to climb on the top of his control stool to keep his head above water-—there were only six inches of space between HR surface of the water and the roof of the boat. At last he could stand the torture no longer, and made another attempt to lift the hatch. It gave, it lifted; then it fell back suddenly and crush ed his fingers between {tself and its sill. The sudden pain added to the torment he was already undergoing drove him momentarily insane, With a swift upward maddened heave he thrust upward-—and the hatch gave! | And ten seconds later, in the center . ’ . o .
