saluted by his first engineer and the officer
of the watch. On the pier the crew of

Often the outburst of irregular

after which the boy or girl displays

the boat is on the surface the slightest
wave breaks over it and the vessel rolls
about as you may have seen log do on
the surface of the sea.
In addition to these physical miseries
there is the mental strain of not being
able to see danger approaching and of not
knowing whether you will ever see the
light again.
The captain of the German submarine
boat U-47, which has greatly distinguished
itself in these naval exploits, has written
most interesting account Of life on the
boat and their methods of action. Although
the article is written primarily to excite
enthusiasm for the submarine war, it does
not conceal the great hardships of the life.
The article has been published widely in
the German newspapers, and here is a
translation Of it:
