OWN SHOT FROM U BOAT
KILLED GIRL He LOVED
"0h, This Murderous, Damnable,
UnspeakabIe Duty" Says
German Captain.

The tragic story of how a q boat
commander unwittingly became the
slayer of his sweetheart is told by
Lars Larsen, who arrived at an Allan
tic port on board small cargo steam
ship. He was an officer of the Swedish
steamship Ada, which was sunk on
June II last while on her way from
Gothenburg. Sweden, to Hull, Eng
land. This is his dramatic recital:
Before the war began handsome
young German fell in love with. my
daughter Minna. sixteen and beautiful

or the good looking youngster, and
when the war broke out and he re-
ceived notice TO present himself at
once to the naval unit to which he be-
longed in Germany the poor girl was
ready to die of grief
Two months elapsed before we got
a letter from Hans. 1t told us Of his
having been detailed to submarine
work. After this we never heard from
him again.
Toward the end of April, as we
We're nearing the coast of England ON
my schooner, the Baldar, shell struck
the Baldar amidships. A splinter of
the smashed woodwork struck Minna
and killed her. The rest of us had
barely time to get into small boat
and get away before the schooner sank.
carrying down the body Of my daugh-
ter.
1T was only then that we noticed
the U boat from which the shell had
been fired. 1t came close to us, and
judge of my horror and that of my son
Sven when We discovered that the
captain was the man who was to have
been the husband of Minna. His first
question was, How is my Minna, and
does she still think of meT
Il pointed to the place where the
Baldar had sunk. 'Whatr shrieked
Hans Won Tuebinger. 'Minna is deadY
His grief was certainly unfeigned
when we told him what had hap
pened.

we were nearing the British coast
when submarine fred shell. When
1t came close enough to enable us to
discern the features Of those on the
boat we were again almost paralyzed
with horror to see that the commander
was Hans Tuebinger. When we got
close enough to the q boat Sven leaped
to its deck and made rush for Hans.
His hand was at the mans throat
when seaman struck Sven a blow
on the head. It felled him, and he
rolled of into the water. He did not
reappear.
Hans swore he would gladly have
given his own life to save my sons.
Duty, duty! he exclaimed bitterly. oh.

And here Lars Larsen burst into
tears. II am trying hard to forget 1t
