The reason that some cars will moi

Her gun power was no use without
speed. Waiting like hungry wolves to

had to be taken in tow at FIVE knots.
while the submarines. which could only
watch her run by at thirty knots. now
had the speed Of her. These highway
men. guerillas. knight Grants. had
their chance. which we would not
have. for we lack seagoing subma-
rines.
Through their periscopes the eyes of
the German commanders lighted at the
sight Of the rich prize Of that crippled
leviathan seemingly as exposed to
their thrusts as liner being warped
into her dock in the harbor Of New
York-seemingly, only seemingly. for
