There was more protection than

the submarines would be blind no

OF fat. slow sheep crowding together
with wolf among them.
But between them and his wolf lay
the net buoys. dotting all the surface.
In and out. as IL they had been laid
by some laborng artist to make a
maze.
The seawolf went slowly nearer.
With its tanks full OF water, it lay SO
far submerged that the sea washed the
coaming around the manhole hatch.
The Lieutenant was like man wading
breast high in the ocean. 1t would be
hard to see him from any distance.
He studied the traceries Of buoys.
There were spaces between them that
betokencd gaps in the fences. One
might find a gap and go through.
But to find q gap the submarine
must raise her periscope above water
and look around. And here. sweeping
necessarily to and fro. like galloping

Could one dive and go through

kiss could draw a 1000 ton ship into

A score OF serving devices in the
defences were slaves to the steel cham
pions. Searchlights in armor waited
like men at arms to point with long.
white finger at their prey. Mine fields
and emplacements and cable conduits
were there to force the ships to steer
where the guns could strike them most
surely. Masked by trees and mounds,
concealed by every device against be-
trayal. were range finders and fire
control stations.
They were nearly perfect, those
works-as engineering works They
were fully armed with the engines to
make them malignant to the ultimate
fatal degree. The ten mile area of sea
that lay so bright and dimpled that
morning might well have been black
as the wings Of Death; for few little
motions Of the waiting men under the
pretty grassy mounds would unfold
those pinions.
But under the iron visages was
weakness. In none OF the defences
on this morning when the time had
come for their test were there more
than one-half the number OF men re-
quired to hold them.ls
They could fight the guns. so long
as the action remained n ship to fort

in sufficient force to meet him AMI
