SUBMARINE LOST PREY
FAMOUS BOAT MADE VAIN PuR.
SUIT or STEAMER,
Superior Speed and a Zlgzas Course
Saved the Vessel. Though ships
Boy Has His Own Ideas
Of the Matter.

The German submarine U-2s, ac'
cording 10 seamen who travel be
tween Rotterdam and England, has a
regular beat which she patrols be-
tween the Mas lightship and the
north hinder. Practically every day
she Is on duty along that route
watching for the railway and cargo
steamers on their way TO Hull or Har-
wich or Rotterdam She has num-
Der Of captures to her credit at this
point, although she has not yet sue
ceeded In getting any Of the fast mail
or railway packet boats. Their speed
Is superior and they vary their course
on each trip so as TO make II impos-
sible for the submarine 10 lie In walt
along the way.
The following description OF the
pursuit Of one Of the railway steam
ers is published here:
"The ship was pounding along at
l2 knots. when suddenly there was
a flash Of sunlight on the surface OF
the sea, maybe two miles away, and
the lookout called sharply. 'Subma'
rine on the port bowl
There was a sharp command 10
the man at the wheel and the chip
changed her course. Then a quick
call down the tube and the engineer
sang out TO his stokers, Beat her up
boys, U-2S is having another 60
Down the stokehold tumbled the
deckhands, eager 10 help with shovel
and oilcan. The water jumped In
the gauge, the safety valves showed
signs of torment, there was a smell
Of heated bearings, the ship began to
quiver, while the perspiring crew
made bets with each other on the
race.
The captain himself took the
wheel. Beside him stood the ships
boy, watching with fascinated eyes
the white wake which marked the
course of the submarine sailing at IA
knots to cut them OFF. Smoke and
fire streamed from the tunnels and
there was an odor of burning paint.
The iron deck chartered and groaned
under the demands of the engines and
the ship gained headway.
Suddenly the captains shoulder
gave a lurch. his arms shot down. the
boy, thrown of his balance. fell
against the bulwarks, and the ship
swerved in a half circle on new
course. Gradually the speed rose to
13, IA, 141a knots. The captains face
relaxed into a smile
What if the engine should break
down? thought the boy, as his eyes
again sought that distant white wake.
In the long stern chase the same
thought often came to the captain,
but his face showed nothing but
quiet interest and his hands held
strong on the wheel Smaller and
smaller grew the pursuer. until finally
it sullenly gave up the chase. Then
came a call down the tube, a heavy
sigh of relief from the engineer, and
the men came tumbing back to deck.
'Good-by old U-2S, we've beaten
her again, shouted one of the crew,
gazing astern.
"'Yes, I and the old man did ex.

Though Commander Small, OF VIM. Fl.
H. Rice post, is not yet prepared to issue
his official orders for the observance OF
Memorial day in Ellsworth, the plans are
about completed.
Memorial day this year falls on Sunday,
On Sunday evening at Hancock hall, the
usual union memorial service will be held.
The sermon will be by Rev. j. w. Tickle,
of the Unitarian church, with the pastors
OF the other churches assisting in the SER
vice. The Ellsworth festival chorus will
sing, with Miss Bertha Giles as soloist.
Monday will be observed as Memorial
day. The usual details from the post will
decorate the graves of comrades in the
forenoon. AT noon the veterans will as
semble at Grand Army hall. Arrange
ments have been made this year for SER
vices at the soldiers monument. For the
past few years these services have been
omitted, the march up Bridge hill being
too strenuous for many of the veterans.
This year arrangements have been made
for the conveyance of the veterans from
their homes to Grand Army, hall il de-
sired, and from the postoffice square to
the monument for the services.
After the services at the monument, the
usual Memorial day services will be held
at Hancock hall, with Fulton J. Redman
as the orator of the day.
The difficulties in the way of securing
band are being overcome, and it seems
certain now that some music will be pro-
vided.
This is the fiftieth anniversary OF the
close OF the war, and more than the usual
significance is attached to Memorial day.
Indications are that the observance in
Ellsworth will be of more than usual in
terest.
