Presently the welcome voice OF our
sergeant came from the entrance Of
the dugout:
"Come on, me,lads; lend q hand with
the mail"
There was a mad rush for the en-
trance. In a couple of minutes or so
the boys returned, staggering under a
load of parcels. As each name was
read off parcel would be thrown over
TO the expectant Tommy. Ny heart was
beating with eagerness as the sergeant
picked up each parcel, then a pang of
disappointment as the name was read
off.
Each man in the dugout received

sea rough, and during the engagement

The steamer was still within efee-
tive range of the big guns Of the sub
marine, which could have had no other
reason than sudden attack Of acute
illness for vanishing in this abrupt
manner. It seems fairly conclusive
that q she'll blew her partly out OF
water, and then she went lunging and
laundering into the depths. The
steamer did not stop to search for
traces of the disaster, but sensibly con-
tinued along on her course. Tankers
filled with millions of gallons of gaso-

Then il all flashed over me in an in
instant. About two weeks before !
had noticed a collection being taken
up in the section and at the time
thought il very strange that / WAS not
asked to donate. The boys had all
clipped in TO make sure that ! would
not be forgotten on Christmas. They
eagerly crowded around me as !
opened the parcel. 1t contained nearly
everything under the sun. including
some American cigarettes.
Tears Of gratitude came TO my eyes,
but some way or other ] managed not
to betray myself. Those Tommies GER
tainly were tickled at my ordinations
OF delight as I removed each article.
Out OF the corner Of my eye / could

A man named Smith in our section
had been detailed as runner" to our
captain and was not present at the dis
tribution of the mail. Three parcels
and five letters were placed on MS pack
so he would receive them on his re-
turn to the dugout.
In about ten minutes a man came
from the trench loaded down with
small oblong boxes. Each Tommy. in
GLIDING myself, received one. They
were presents from the Queen OF Eng
land, and each box contained a small
plum pudding, cigarettes, q couple OF
cigars, matches and chocolate. Every
soldier in tho British Army received
one Of these boxes on Christmas Day.
At last "Sailor Bill" announced that

nest, a coxswain Of the Naval Guard
picked up an oil slick ahead, which
veered off to port at right angles to
the ships course. Following the slick,
which was about the width of a ship,
he suddenly saw the periscope of 4
submarine appear at the end of it
about one foot out Of the water. He
instantly sang out 'Periscope,' and the
next moment, Torpedo for the SUBJ
marine had been exposed scarcely
more than second when she fired a
torpedo. The enemy was then about
900 yards from the ship and three
fourths point forward of the beam.
THE torpedo was running straight,
but apparently having trouble in main
tanning its depth, for when about 200
yards off ! saw a streak, then at a
depth Of about five feet. II dived and
passed under the ship about thirty feet
from the stern. Soon after heading
away from the submarine we picked up
an abandoned lifeboat two points off
the starboard bow. The submarine had
apparently been lying near the lifeboat,
and on seeing US approach had headed
of to assume a position for attack on
our port side, probably expecting US to
pick up the lifeboat and thus miss see
ing him. Fortunately, however, the oil
slick was sighted first.
"The old hands among the gunners
paid no attention to the torpedo, which
was coming right for them, but made
every effort to get the guns on the
target, which was the submarines peri
scope"
Shells Made Him Certain
A voyage of another steamer Of this
same service varied the programme by
a lively exchange of she'll fire, after the
following fashion:
"The first report that a submarine
was in sight came from the after gun,
one of the crew shouting, Submarine
broad on the starboard quarter, about
three miles OFF, The lookout and the
bridge sighted it at almost the same
moment. The captain put his glasses
on the craft and looked at it for four
or five seconds. Before he could feel
certain that it was a submarine two
flashes showed at either end of 1t, as
fire was opened on the ship.
FIFTEEN or twenty seconds later the
shells dropped, one just short OF the
ship on the starboard beam and the
other just astern. A third shot passed
by the forward funnel, under the radio
aerials. The captains theory as to
why the submarine held the range so
perfectly was like this: She was OBJ
serving the ship and saw it pass about
two miles off. AS the ship was zig
tagging the German commander
thought he could get in q better posi-
ton to fire his torpedo ana so he ran
submerged TO reach the chosen point.
On coming to the surface again he dis
covered that the ship was not where
he expected il to be. II was too far
away to fire his torpedo, so he let go
with his guns.
"The ships battery got into action
at once and evidently discouraged the
submarine, which fred between thirty
and forty shots without hit and then
vanished. She was near enough while
fighting to enable us TO distinguish the
men grouped about her guns"
What might be called close shave

Thursday two loads of our citizens
went up and searched the ground over
for Hesler's body but the snow was
too deep to do much. Every day this
week there has been some one looking
for the body of the old man.
Many theories are being advanced
about where the body will be found.
Tuesday another load of our citizens
Messrs. D. J. Cole, Mayor; D. E. Car
ey, MARSHALL; Geo. Baker, Henry
Edwards, Henry Sampson, and H. w.
Lord drove up to Briggs camp and
with the assistance of several other
men made another thorough search
in the neighborhood of the sled, and
also number of rods west, where a
blanket and quilt were found behind
log some ten feet from the road. |
One corner of the blanket bore the |
prints of bloody hand. The murder
er probably used the blanket to wipe
off his hands. They have been placed
in the hands of Sheriff McCamley. The
boys returned home Tuesday night,
but did not get any further clue.
The reader will observe that the a.
bove letter is dated February 4, 1883,
while the murder was committed JAN
uary Is or 10 and Fenner was arrested
on Monday the 18th of February and
brought to this city on the 18th. The
above letter has been compared with
writing in pass book taken from
Fenner at the time of his arrest and
there is a striking resemblance be-
tween the two, in fact his dates are
written exactly the same
A terrible feeling has been aroused
in this case and it seems to augment
as time passes. A reward of $3.50 is
offered for the recovery of the body.
