Meanwhile men from the submarine went aboard the steamer and placed two bombs, one in the captains room and the other in the forecastle. Ten minutes later there were two expIo- sions and the ship began to sink soon afterwards. The captain and crew wept as they saw their ship go down.
 After the bombs had been placed aboard the Vile De Lille the snbma- rine stopped a Dutch ship which was allowed to proceed after the Germans satisfied themselves there was no con- traband aboard.
 The submarine then returned to the Vile De Lilies boats and took them in tow until Bar1eur was in sight The Germans gave the master a fine air of seaboots as he had been forced to leave his own behind, and gave him medical attention
