An Account Of the Sinking Of the

Rupert 8. Gwatkin-Williams, the of
ficer who was in command Of the
converted Irish channel packet Tar,
when she was sunk by German sub
marine in the Mediterranean at the
end Of 1915. The account of the tor
pedoing of his ship which follows Is
from his personal diary, written while
he was a prisoner OF the Senussi, 10
whom he and his men were handed
over by the commander Of the Ger
man submarine.

we were approaching. Suddenly the
lookout in the crows nest gave q

torpedo fascinated me for moment.
In that marvelously clear water ]

in the sunlight, with black square
patches on top where the balance
chamber was. 1t seemed to travel
along in ever quickening spurts. and
as it got closer and closer I could see
the decorating apparatus of striker
and 'whiskers' In its nose, and the
various valves and levers for adjust.

event OF the torpedo failing to ex.

beginning to gather weigh. when she
was struck on the starboard side, fair
against the engine room. A dull,
mumbling, cracking roar. and great
black column rose as high as the
main lower masthead. / suppose that
it was formed OF water smoke and
coal and debris. but 1t was impossible
to say. Only its blackness impressed
me. A great yawning hole in the
side, the deck blown away, and the
aerial Of the wireless destroyed

Heavy as was the explosion and
comparatively small the ship-Rhe
