Lieutenant Wenninger, commander OF
the German submarine U-17 which
torpedoed the French steamer Grave
line, gives the following description of
how his submarine was caught in the
net of an English boat off the east
coast of England and how under the
most difficult circumstances he sue
ceeded in saving the boat and crew
from capture.
He said that they left their base
early in the morning and passed into
the North Sea, the boat being under
water with the periscope awash. Il
looked through the periscope," he con-
tinued, land could see red buoy be-
hind by boat When 10 minutes later !
looked I saw the buoy again, still at
the same distance behind US. I steered
to the right and then to the left. but
the buoy kept on following us. l de-
scended deep into the water but still
saw the buoy floating on the surface
above us. At last l discovered that we
had caught the chain Of the buoy and
that we were dragging it along with
us. At this time l also saw through
the periscope that strange small
steamer was steering course directly
behind us and the buoy. At the same
time my sounding apparatus indicated
that screw steamer was in the VI
cinity. Observation revealed that five
enemy torpedo boats were approach
ing from the north. I increased the
speed of the boat in the expectation OF
being able to attack one of them. The
five torpedo boats arranged themselves
in a circle. I sank still deeper and got
ready for eventualities.
"At this juncture my boat began to
roll in most incomprehensible man.

parently out of order. Soon after
wards l discovered that we had en-
countered a wire netting and were
Ihopelessly entangled in it. We had. in
fact, got into the net OF one Of the
hunters surrounding us.
For an hour and a half the netting
carried us with it, and although made
every effort to clear of it, it seemed i'm
possible There was nothing to do but
to increase the weight in the subma-
rine as much as possible so that
might try to break the netting. For
tunately when We started had pumped
in from five to six tons of water, filling
all the tanks. increased the weight
of the boat to the utmost and suddenly
we felt shock and were clear OF the
netting. l then descended as deeply in

TEACHING BY PARALLELS.

Christ spoke in parallels to make
his teachings more forcible, for it is
a peculiar fact that human beings will

man frailties in his fables, did more
good in that way than ever he could
