 l Safely home from a trip across as wireless operator on a Standard Oil company tanker, John F. Barstow, for neriy chauffeur for Judge M; 8. shusaz 1 way, told enterta1ningly Monday of | hfs experiences Cn his long voyage. Mr. Barsfow did not go through | without being witness to a little &C., l ticn against a U-boat, though his ves- sel escaped contact with the murders ] Of the sea-, On the outward bound trip. leaving 1 New York Aug. 30. United States varship acted as convoy until a fleet of English warships picked up the vessel and others that were in the same con- voy for the trip through the submarine zone.
 This part of the trip was featured by the attack of a U-boat on one of the English war vessels, which lost a pro- Eeller in the encounter, but the de- stroyers assisting in the conveying work, immediately that attack started, raced in a circle about the ships they were protecting and began to throw cut a smoke screen that soon hid them very effectively from the view of the Ge rman raider, which was driven off, all the allied ships escaping. The tanker on which MT. BarStoW was operator had 5000 tons of fuel oil for use of destroyers operating agairt,t the submarines.
 The trip took the local young man to ports in Ireland and Scotland, also to the Orkney Islands. There were days of delay while mine sweepers cleared the seas to make passage safe for mer chant ships, and other delays incident to operations of ships in the submarine zones.
 An interesting incident that MT, Rarstow tells of is seeing four British warships at target practice at sea, evidently engaged in training new sunners, for the shooting from the ships was not first class. in the esti- nation of the American navy gunners aboard the tanker.
 The trip home was made without special interference from Germany's eu bsea forces. MT. Barstow, who has now completed two round trips across, expects to make his next trip to some South American port on a ship of the Grace line
