The sailor did not know the name Of
this bay, but he described a headland

and harbor nearby, and the descrip-

also be the place referred to.

we knew what had happened. We had

we were caught by a chain, although
how trawling could be carried out at
such a depth we couldn't guess.

The officers gave no orders, for
what was there to do but wait? Then
came a strange noise, a rapping on

London. Dec. 1s-Probably forty Ger
man submarines-no one outside the
grand fleet and the admiralty knows
the exact numoer-have been destroy
ed OF captured by the silent watchers
of the English seas since the Won Tir-
pitz BLOCKADE" began, ten months ago.
In not one instance have the details
OF how a U-boat was entrapped been
officially announced. not even since
the dwindlfng number Of German sea
terrors and the transfer of most of
those that remain to the Mediterranean
have practically ended the peril in
home waters
The natural result Of this policy of
silence has been an avalanche of ru-
mors. For every submarine entrapped,
II is safe to say there have been ten
descriptions circulated by word of
mouth specifying some entirely dis
tfnct method which has caught. or is
catching. U-boats by the dozen Some
Of these reports are true. Most Of them,
obviously, are not.

to the hatch, took OF his shoe. and
raped twice with its heel"
From the sailors story, IL seems
there was something like a panic
among the crew. which the captain
checked with few sharp words of
command. Even In the deadliest peril.
the German sailor or soldier Is more
afraid of his officers than of the
enemy or of death itself. Meanwhile.
as soon as the mate had signalled
with his shoe. the rapping outside
commenced again. you fools, II is a
diver" said the captain. The mate
took out notebook, and commenced
to write. Once he raped again with
his shoe, iuterrupting the noise from
outside. Apparently he asked for
something to be repeated which he
had failed to catch. Then the rapping
began again.
After what seemed long time to
the awe-stricken sailors. the noise
stopped, and the mate, still standing
on the hatchway, read to the captain
a message something like this, as the
sailor said he remembered Il:
TeIexrapheA a warning.
to destroyer. If you move sideways
to escape 1t will be exploded. Rise
Immediately and surrender"
1t seems short message to take
many minutes to rap out by the Con-
tinental telegraph code, which the
mate, 1t happened. knew, But the diff
ficulty of making the most simple
movements under water, when in a
diving SUIT, may have hindered the
emisssry from above from spelling
out his message as rapidly ne
-, ~ .r,h AZ
fice, or perhaps the mental strain on
the listening sailors made one min
ute seem like ten.
The mate raped few times In
answer. and then held very short
and agitated conference with the cap
tain we crowded about. for we had
heard. and we would not have per-
mitted any other answer than the one
the herr captain gave" said the mar
rator.
Tell him surrender" said the
out by the mates shoe. A moment
later thes Submarine shot to the sur
face. and the men piled out on deck.
A few yards away was a destroyer.
Her gun crews were ready for the
command to blow U-27 out of the wa
ter. Except for this little difficulty,
the German might have seuttled away
in safety. For there was no mine fas-
tened to her. And as the Germans sui
lenly looked across at the smiling tars
around the guns and at other sailors
lowering a boat to receive them, they
saw, hauled over the side of the war
ship, the diver who had bluffed them
into surrender.
Used a Monkey Wrench.
He had a monkey wrench in one
hand, with which he had raped out
his blood-curdling summons on the
hull of the U-27, and. in the other.
was piece of chain two feet long
which he had rasped along the Ger
mans side to make the inmates believe
his message.
The story must stop here. for the
rest of 1t, through no activity of the
censor. cannot be printed. 1t consists
of awe-stricken attempts by the Ger
man narrator to reproduce the Ian
gusge which he says his commander
used in the next fve minutes. both TO
his men before being taken of his
craft and to the English officers who
received him on their own.
