Like a Great Alligator

Censorship forbids giving the
location of the Ga.
But that is not important.
Suffice to say that the ca is
part of rather formidable
submarine fleet that has its
base at point where they can
dart out on minutes notice
If warned of the approach of
enemy ships.
I'll never forget my first i'm
pressions of the ca the morn
ing l went to the submarine
base to report to Capt. Foster
for duty. She was locked
alongside a giant submarine
tender and | looked down ON
her from the top deck of the
tender.
Lying there i'm the water,
she looked like great aIliga-
tor. Only few feet of her top
side was visible.
Nobody was on her deck, but
I could hear hammering and
talking from her interior.
Only one hatch was open,
and that was Just big enough
to permit a man to crawl in
side. A sailor attached to the
tender came up and stood next
to me.
you going to report for sub
marine duty?" he asked. / told
him / was.
Bennett a Veteran
Did you ask for this?" was
his next question.
Sure thing. Why not?"
He looked me over curiously
and then replied:
Say, fellow, you couldn't
hire me to go down on one of
those things. There's enough
danger up here on the top
decks where you have the sky
over you all the time"
Capt. Foster came up then
and examined my transfer pa
pers. He sent below for Ring
Bennett, chief petty officer of
the CT, and turned me over to
him.
"See If you can make sub
marine man out of Lyon here"
Capt. Foster said to Bennett.
Hes never been on one of the
boats before, so you'll have to
start in at the beginning with
him."
Bennett is one of Uncle Sans
most trustworthy submarine
men. Eleven of his IS years
in the navy have been spent on
submarines. He has operated
every type of U-boat in the
navy. He knows the game from
A to 2.
A fine looking, broad-shoul-
dered, cordial fellow is Bennett.
