SWEEPING FOR MINES.
The Work of the British Trawlers in
Present War.

The action of the Germans in lay
ing submarines has forced the allies
to adopt the same uncongenial form
of warfare, and certain planned por-
tions of the seas have been sown
with these engines of death. But
the British mine fields are fixed and
definite, and the responsible author
tiles notify the neutral powers of
their whereabouts. On the other
hand, the Germans kept their field
a secret, with the result that two
Danish and two Dutch vessels and
four other neutral craft have already
been sunk.
Our admiralty mines are COM
posed of 500 pounds of gun-cotton,
and are detonated by means of an
arrangement consisting of a cup Of
mercury with two firing points. The
mine layers which distribute them
are usually old converted cruisers,
arranged for their abhorrent wok
by cutting off their running two
sterns and little railways the length
of the ship. On these lines the
mines are laid and the movement
of a lever automatically drops them
into the sea.
The British authorities were, of
course prepared for such action on
the part of the enemy, and for some
years they have instituted trawler
reserve for mine sweeping from the
men engaged in the North sea fish
cries. The men sign on for five
years, and go through a fortnights
training every year. Up till now
they have looked upon it as rather
lark and a welcome relief from the
heavy toiling on the gray wastes of
the North sea. Now their work is
to be taken seriously; they are eager
to do their duty with that CHEEKY OPP
timism so characteristic of their
brothers-in-arms on the field.
The autumn miStS lie over the
sea, but there are few trawlers go
ing out The herring shoals have
come down out of the wonderful re-
sources of the northern waters, but
they are passing by with but few
craft to follow them down to take
their toll. The sturdy little trawlers
and drifters may have come in with
full fshrooms, but they did not go
out again with replenished ice rooms
and bunkers for fresh reaping on the
dogger They certainly were only
in harbor couples Of tides. but when
they did go out they were wonder
fully transformed. They left the
eastern harbors, fishrooms and ice
chests filled with spare steam coal.

under convoy of a torpedo boat, units
of his majesty's navy. The dingy
blue clad seamen were in regulation
kilt, while the skipper, who once
lounged on his crazy bridge in thigh
boots and sou'-wester, was elegant
in blue serge and gilt buttons. They
were going out to trawl, but it was
to gather in those death-dealing
spheres that lurk unseen and un-
charted in the depths hitherto sacred
to the haddock schools and dull-eyed
cod
Once away in the quarter where
the mines are supposed to be laid the
trawlers part off in pairs. They
work the same as in trawling except
that they work in couples. A strong
cable is stretched across from one
boat to the other; instead Of the
net pocket though, in the middle of
the night, there is kite a huge
triangular weight, which keeps the
cable we'll down in the water; the
trawlers then sail apart, and go
across the tides, the weighted haw-
ser sagging down between them.
The mines might lie 16 feet to 1S
feet below the surface. That is
about the depth of the vital parts Of
a battleship, her engine rooms. mag
azines and coal bunkers. A mine
exploding there has a tremendous
chance of doing deadly damage; if
it occurred at a shallow depth the
chances are that although damaged
the ship would still remain sea-
worthy. A little distance away an
exploding mine can only cause a rush
of water, sufficient, perhaps, to
throw a vessel off her course.
Perhaps for days the trawlers
sweep across the eternal tides with
out result. Life aboard is more
deadly dull than before; there is not
even luS SACitSlucul VI uduiluS tAC
gear and cleaning the catch two or
three times a day, although there is
always the passage of numerous craft
to and from the grand fleet lying
somewhere outside. And the men
aboard the mine sweepers are al
ways full of secret information, about
which they are very vague, to your
discontinue and their own keen
relish.
The skipper stumps round, filled
with the pride of office, his hands re-
turning at intervals to run along the
trawl warp that stretches down like
silver band into the blue depths, to
rise, a sagging, dripping thread to
the other little boat running along
side many yards distant. The skip
per's hand is a sensitive organ, hard
and toilworn, but with the training
of years he can distinguish at once
| the vibration of water from that
caused by a foreign substance. The

BATTLE WITH MOONSHINERS.
Distillery Raided in Horny and Five
Men Arrested.

Conway, Dec. 12.-R. F. jenkins
and R. @. Merrick, special officers of
the United States internal revenue
department, and w. ]. Johnson and
Rollin Johnson have just returned
from beyond the Little River section
of the county, near the North Caro-
lima line, where they made raid
on an illicit whiskey still yesterday
and arrested George Beck, Spencer
Bozeman, Will Huet, Dave Faulk and
Asa Soles, who are said to have been
in the act of measuring a number of
kegs of whiskey when they were sur
prised by the officers When the Of
ficers arrested the parties a number
Of friends of the prisoners came to
their rescue and demanded of the
officers they release the men. 1t is
claimed that upon their refusal to
do so a fusilade of shots was ex-
changed between the men and the
officers. In the melee one Of the
prisoners was wounded and two
made their escape, but were recap
tured. One Of the recaptured men
escaped again the next day and is
still at large.
Capt. Jenkins was hit in the breast
by one of the shots, but the bruise
is of a minor nature. Another of the
prisoners made such resistance In
trying to extricate himself from the
officers that Capt. Jenkins had toI
pound him heavily on the head. The
man is considerably bruised, but not
seriously injured. Four of the pris-
oners were placed in Jail here and the
two wounded ones have been exam
ined and their wounds have been
pronounced not serious by a physl-
clan. Warrants have been issued for
all the parties, and it is expected
that George Beck, who made good
his escape at the time, will be cap
tured in a day or two. The prison
ers were taken before the United
States commissioner here today and
two of them, Faulk and Soles, were
released on bond for their appear
ance before the commissioner Mon
day for the preliminary hearing.
