got back safe this trip. The SID
marines sank one English cruiser and
two English oil tankers ard Jne gen.

when we were going over. This hap
pened on the north coast Of Ireland.
When the torpedo hit the cruiser
we saw big splash Of water and felt
the jar of the explosion. There were
We were about five miles away. An
other ship was sunk about mile be-
hind us. We just got by in time if We
would have been five minutes later
they may have gotten us. don't know
how many lives were lost on it. Gee!
We could see every shot the cruiser
fired at the submarine She fired about
fifty shots and a couple of broad
sides. We could see where her shots
were falling but we couldn't see the
submarine. There were about six
submarines there. We were reported
sunk on the way back because we lost
the convoy in a fog in the war zone
and didn't see another ship until we
got pretty close to land on this side of
the ocean.
We had pretty bad weather both
going and coming and it was awful
cold. We will sail again as soon as we
get loaded. They had n pretty big fire
here several DAYS ago. The docks were
afire and hey think Georman spies set
them afire. After we left Liverpool we
laid in at Limelast, Scotland for five
days. 1t is very pretty place We
could see snow covered mountains off
little way with everything at the
foot of the mountains green.
Well mother how is everybody at
home? Hope father is we'll again Is AL
