trying TO evade our patrols to try
to sink my little ship. You must
remember that / was then engaged
in fishing, and could only rely on my
stout stem to attack one. One night,
lust about sunset, ! saw one. She
passed quite close to us-not more
than mile and half, / should say.
She was great big chap, with two
guns, and a lot Of the crew on deck
that was about sixty miles from
the Seven Stones lightship.
Well, to continue. My vessel, fun
nily enough, was called Our Friend,
and. before the end Of the day, it
was our luck to prove our friendship
for our friends across the waters.
AS I was saying, we had shot our
nets, and about noon we saw a large
tank steamer coming up Channel at
a good pace. She was coming In our
direction, and I soon saw her colors,
the Stars and Stripes, at the stern
a fine big ensign it was, and spread
out like a board. When she was
about two miles off, to my horror ]
saw a submarine emerge from the
depths and come right to the surface.
There was no sign of life on the
submarine, but she lay stationary,
rising and falling in the trough, and
l knew instinctively that she was
watching the steamer. She had I'M
doubtedly come from the same di-

guns going overhead, and watched
the Germans handing out shells to
their own guns. Finally a torpedo
was fired, and they heard it take
effect. Then they emerged into the
red wash of dawn and saw only the
floating wreckage of the big ship
that had been sunk, and among the
wreckage a small boat. They were
bundled into this, told they were
free TO row to England or Nincveh,
and the submarine left them-three
'longshore fishermen, who had passed
through the latest invention of the
modern scientific devil, two who
could still pull at the oars, but the
other too crazy to steer.
But even with neutrals, the auxil-
larry feet finds it necessary some
times to add the wisdom of the SER
pent to its general philanthropy. On
one occasion neutral tank steamer
was overhauled. She was believed
to be carrying suspiciously large
supplies to a suspiciously vague des-
tination, but was allowed to proceed
for political reasons and in the name
Of the freedom Of the seas. Never
theless, with innocent fishing boats
dotting our waters at intervals of
half mile, and wireless telegraphy
to help them, the sea has almost as
many eyes and ears to-day as it has
fishes; and at dusk a drifter rolled

indeed, and even go to America. She
NAV even do some damage within
their lines. But if she does this, her
position is known; and if there be
any future damage done, it twill
probably have to be done by another
submarine. For she has called upon
a thousand perils, from every point
of the compass, to close upon her re-
turn Journey. l have actually seen
The course Of a German submarine
which thought itself undiscovered
marked from day to day on the
chart at an English base. The clews
tc all the ramifcations of this work
are held by a few men at the Ad-
miralty in London. Telephone and
telegraph keep them in constant
touch with every seaport in the king
dom. But let the reader consider
the amount of quiet organization
that went before all this. Even the
manufacture Of the nets-which do
not last forever, even when made
is an industry in itself; ard that is
one Of the least of a thousand ac-
tivities.

vague rumors that we heard in the
earlier stages OF the war led one to
suppose that these nets might be
used, perhaps, in the English Chan

ERECTION as that in which the steamer
was going, and it did not take me
long to realize what had actually
happened. took in the situation at a
glance. The submarine had passed
the Gulfight (for that proved to be
her name). She had deliberately in
creased speed to lie in wait for her
and get sure target, rather than
attempt to fire a torpedo when over
hauling her, with the possible chance
of missing and wasting one of those
expensive weapons, even on an
American.
The submarine was painted light
gray and had two guns; but l could
not see any number. For five minutes
she lay motionless, and then, having
fixed the position Of her prey and
taken her speed into consideration,
she slowly submerged in its direction.
knew what was coming, and it
came-a dull, heavy explosion and a
silence, and then, as if to see the re-
suit Of her handiwork, the submarine
again appeared. She did not stay up
lorg, as smoke was soon seen on the
horizon, and l knew the patrols had
been looking for her. She knew it,
too-and submerged.
l hauled in my nets and proceeded
at full speed to the sinking ship, to
try and save the lives Of the crew.
Our boat was launched and l went
aboard. By this time the Gulfight's
bows were well down and her fore
decks awash, and she looked as if
she would sink at any minute. She
was badly holed in her fore part

Trawlers to the Rescue.
Ten minutes later I saw the patrol
vessels racing up for all they were
worth, and one of these vessels took
off the crew, two of whom were
drowned. The captain Of the Gulf
light died Of shock. Soon four
patrol vessels were on the spot; and
three of these vessels put men
aboard with wires in double-quick
time. The fourth, big trawler
with wireless (Which l now know in
naval language as a "trawler
leader"), steamed round and round
in the vicinity, keeping a careful
watch.
In less than two hours the Gulf
light, her Stars and Stripes still
flying above water. was being towed
at a good speed to port with traw-
lers in attendance. That is all /
have to tell; yet my story is perfect
ly true in every detail.
Later on I went TO Penzance, and
found that the crew of the Gulflight
were receiving every comfort and
hospitality from the senior naval
officer and we're very pleased with
themselves. Of course, we met them,
and you should have heard their
opinions. | would not give much for

I'D to our neutral friend again.

"Begorra, it's twinsl" said the
gunner, training his twelve-pounder
on her; and twins it was. For tucked
close under either quarter lay a Ger
man submarine, quietly being fed.
Before they could submerge or bunk
away, the crew of the drifter had
boarded the neutral and had per-
suaded the crews of the submarines,
with the help Of dozen revolvers,
that they were prisoners of war.
The skipper of another trawler
that we boarded was quiet-voiced
man, with eyes that looked into the
distance. There were suppressed
tears in them, very sternly sup
pressed, as he told me that his
brother had been killed, with all
hands, on the mine sweeper next to
his own only a few weeks ago. He
also told me--and / wished that
Americans could have heard HIM
of the German attack upon the
American ship, the Gulflight, which
he had seen from his own fishing
boat. The German submarine was
halfway between himself and the
Gulhight, which was flying the
American flag, and could be recog-
nized at four times the distance.
The evidence Of this man and his
crew had never been asked or taken,
but he gave me one significant piece
of 1.-THE fur cap of one of the lost
American seamen, which ne had
picked up. Even this bedraggled
relic of a tragedy threw a new and
sharper light on the position of neu-
trails.
The attack on the American steam
ship Gulflight was narrated to me as
follows by the skipper of his maj
esty's drifter Contrive. | am sorry
that it has not the violent literary
qualities which literary men call
realism. Sailors have not yet
learned the trick; and those who de-
sire reality will know that the con-
versational expressions of this very
plain yarn are at least true and the
speaker the sort of man who would
send his kind regards to a friend,
from his desthbed:
At the time Of the incident / was
serving as a skipper of vessel fish
ing out of Lowestoft. We were lying
TO our nets about nine miles off the
Scillys. In fact, we could see the
Scillys, as it was very clear day,
with a blue sky and fresh breeze.
Many vessels had passed us during
the day, and the scene was so peace
full that you could almost imagine
we were still at peace with every
one and that such things as subma-
rines and mines and "such like
never existed. OF course knew bet

member the day the German fleet
came to lombard my native home.
They weren't allowed to remain over
long. as they were chased back TO
port; but they stayed long enough to
sow a large mine field in the way Of
the shipping. My brother was then
a naval skipper in command of his
majesty's drifter Will and Maggie
he met his death trying to sweep up
those mines, and his ship and his
crew went with him. I've seen their

Mysterious Defences Used.

Night and day, in all weathers,
section replacing section, these
trawlers and drifters string them
selves out from coast to coast; while
on shore thousands Of workers are
turning out their own special NUM-
ions and equipment-nets, mines
and a dozen mysteries which may
NOT be mentioned.
From one Of their bases a patrol
boat took me out along one Of the
longest lines Of the fotilla. This in
nocent line of trawlers, strung out
lor some fifty miles, had more night
mares in store for the German sub
marine than a feet Of battleships.
IL was an odd sensation to approach
uawler after trawler and note the
one obviously unusual feature of
each-the menacing black gun at
W" and stern. They were good
guns, too-English, French and Jap
snese. The patrol boat carried a
hotchkiss, and most Of the trawlers
mao equally efficient weapons.
There were other unusual features
IL every trawler, drifter and whaler,
features that made one catch ones
breath when their significance was
re-, ,esAlized. About this may say very
.'ue' But in the matter of the nets,

Neutral Ships Guarded.


Throughout this work of the auXil-
larry fleet it is worth noting that IN
their records of rescue and salvage
a good half of their care is devoted
to the ships of neutrals. 1t is Eng
land that sweeps the sea for mines,
marks them off on her charts. warns,
delays and guides the traffic of the
world through thousand unknown
perils. And England has paid the
price for it; for, while the neutral
traffic is held up for an hour or two,
as at the lifting of a policeman S
hand, the mines are removed; but
sometimes those who remove them
are awaited in vain by their homes
in the little seaports. That neutrals
are not altogether forgetful of the
fact is shown by the exceedingly
generous subscriptions raised on the
Atlantic liners, among Americans
and others, for the widows and or
phans Of the mine sweepers. On one
Dutch liner recently over $1,000 was
contributed for this purpose in half
an hour by the passengers at break
fast. who had come undisturbed
through waters full of menace.
Often, as in the case of the
Falaba, the rescue work is attended
with many perils to the auxiliary
concerned. From the Falaba JIG
persons were rescued; and the drift
or was obliged" a phrase that in
this case meant almost foundered."
On a few occasions the hunters have
themselves been trapped. Three
men taken off a trawler by sub
marine endured an eighty hours
nightmare under the sea that shat
tered the mind of one and left per-
manent traces on the other two.
Periodically revolvers were put to
their heads.4and they were ordered,
on painof death, to tell all they knew
Of our naval dispositions. They saw
a good deal of the internal routine
of the German submarine also, and
noted Enthusiastically that the Ger
man crew-on this boat, at any rate
were very "jumpy," too "jumpy"
even to take a square meal. They
munched biscuits at their stations
at odd moments.
On the third morning they heard

Gerry BIT his fps and turneo from
her. "And Alan, Of all men," he went
on. At the words the current of her
thoughts was changed. She found her
self suddenly on the defensive. "Do
you think you are the first woman he
has played with and betrayed?" Ger
rvs lip was curved to a sneer, "A
philanderer, A man who surrounds
himself with tarnished regulations"
A dull glow came into Alix' cheeks.
"Philanderers are Of many breeds, =
she said. "There are those who have
the Wit to philander with woman and
those who can only rise to whisky or
a golf club. Whatever else Alan may
be he is not tme-server."
Once aroused AK had taken up the
gauntlet with NO uncertain hand. Her
first words carried the war into the
enemy's camp and they were barbed.
"What do you mean?" said Gerry
DULY. he had not anticipated de-
tense.
II mean what you have deduced
with an effort. What are you but a
philanderer in little things where Alan
is in great7 What have you ever done
to hold me or any other woman? re-
spected you once for what you were
going to be. That has died. Did you
think was going to make you into a

Gerry stood, breathing hard, great
dependency in his heart. Alix went
on pitilessly. "What have You be-
come? A monumental time-server on
the world and you are surprised that a
worker reaches the prize that you can
not attain! The trouble with you is
that you have built your life altogether
on traditions. 1t is a tradition that
your women are faithful, SO you need
not exert yourself to holding yours!
1t Is a tradition that you can do no
wrong, SO you need not exert yourself
to doing anything at ALL You are play
ing with ghosts, Gerry. Your party
was over generation ago."
Alix had calmed down. There was
still time for Gerry to choke her to
good effect. The hour could yet be
his. But he did not know it. Smart
ing under the lash of Alix' tongue he
made final and disastrous false step.
You try to humiliate me by plac-
ing me back to back with Alan?" he
said, with his newborn sneer. Alix
appraised it with calm eyes and found
It rather attractive. "well, let me
tell you that Alan is so small a man

Alix and Alan were in the grip Of a
fever that is hard to break save
through safety and ruin. They were
still held apart by generations of sound
tradition but against this bulwark the
full flood OF modern life a. they lived

1t was only year ago that the table
talk one night had turned on what was
s0ciety's religion and Alan had said,
Society has no religion nowadays;
II has given up religion for corrosive
philosophy OF nonethics." He had seen
clearly then but not clearly enough to
save himself. He had played with the
corrosive philosophy until he had d.
vorced fesh from the soul and now 1t
was playing with him. He found him
self powerless In the grip Of his desire
for AK.
With her, Things had not gone SO far.
From the security Of the untempted

enough. Their eyes were too wide
