EXPLODES BOMB
ON ONE VESSEL

LONDON. Dec. GA dramatic story
Of the tight of a seaplane with four
German submarines and three German
destroyers is contained in an official
statement just published. In the morn
ing mist the seaplane sighted a sub
marine on the surface. Before the
suhmersible could dive. the aircraft
succeeded in dropping a bomb on her
tail. The bomb made a large hole
in her deck.
Then the pilot Of the seaplane saw
three more submarines in line abreast
and followed by three destroyers. All
six vessels opened fire with their guns,
but German planes were unable to
attack owing to the barrage from the
naval guns.
The British seaplane turned and
dropped another bomb upon the
wounded submarine and saw 1t sink
in a pool Of oil, with fragments Of
wreckage all around. Afterward the
British craft retired from the unequal
combat. sending a wireless message
giving the position of the enemy de
StrOyerS.
The cooperation OF seaplanes with
the naval patrol is a great factor Il

marine campaign. Without the aid Of
the seaplanes the people Of Britain
and her allies would have been faced
with shorter rations. Figures in re-

cred in patrols was more than 10000
miles.
OF this distance 10000 miles was
covered by seaplanes and $4,000 miles
by airships. On seven occasions ships
attacked by submarines sent 5 0 s
signals which brought seaplanes TO
their aid in time to save them. Hun
dreds Of ships are conveyed every
month by aircraft. There is no in
stance in which a submarine hes at
tackled a ship while 10 was being
conveyed by an aircraft.
The great speed Of the seaplanes
gives them a decided advantage. The
plane when it sights a destroyer I'VE
miles away goes full speed TO tho at
tack. The submarine which the de-
stroyer is escorting gets ten minutes
to dive beyond the reach Of the planes
depth charge. Sometimes it has not
eveu that much time, as the seaplane
often comes on at the rate Of eighty
miles an hour.
1t is not to be assumed that de-
strOyers are to be superseded by sea-
planes in submarine fighting. On the
contrary, it is when the two work in
cooperation that disaster usually
comes to the pirate craft. Seaplanes
also have been OF great assistance in
picking up shipwrecked crews, in
sighting mines and in aiding mine
sweepers in their work. The wastage
Of machines is very considerable. but
without this work the struggle Of the
submarines would be prolonged, food
