USE LANCE BOMB AS CHASER
5rItaln's Mosquito Fleet Armed With
Novel Weapons for Fighting in
Close Quarters.

The armament Of Great Britain's
S0-foOt "chasers," "ML's" they are
called, Is interesting. Each carries,
besides Its deck gun. depth charge"
six Glance bombs" and a rifle for each
of Its ten men.
The story of the lance bombs goes
like this: A British destroyer was
once placed In the embarrassing posi-
ton of having a U-boat bob up right
alongside. 1t was impossible to de-
press the guns sufficiently to strafe
the stranger, and there was nothing
else to strafe him with. What hap
pened to the destroyer can't say,
but II must have got away to tell the
story, for each boat Is now provided
With lance bombs for just such emer-
gencles, says William Washburn Nut
ting In Golfers Weekly.
The lance bomb Is 14-pOund con-
tact bomb on the end of a six-foot ham
die, the idea being to use 1t at close
range by hurting It much as an ath-
lete throws the hammer. These are
implements loaded with awful posi-
hilIties In the hands OF an amateur,
and the surest road to unpopularity
with ones shlpmates is to suggest a
lance bomb rehearsal.
