Brass Hat Still Stranded.

The Brass Hat is signaling now for
us to 20 over and help him off. No
body pays any attention to those Or
ders. He wants to run things and get
the U boat himself, but we won't give
him the chance. Later we will tell
him we didn't see his distress signals.
Now he tries to direct the procedure
from where he is, but we are like lot
of hounds released from restraint.
The one idea of our lives is to get that

All of us have towing tOrpedoes out.
These are bombs on long cables, which
are towed astern and sink to certain

had run over to the westward, where
we knew chain net traps to be laid, we
circled in that direction.
our powerful motors thrummed
evenly The water seemed to part
ahead of us. and the gunners squinted
along the surface.
Suddenly off to the west we made
out her periscope. Intense Joy thrilled
our little crews. She was inshOre from
us. She was between our circular
course and the chain nets-in the trap.
The periscOpe we had seen might be
dummy, for a submarine frequently
casts loose IL phoney periscOpe to draw
fire, but at any rate she must have
been between us and the nets II she
cut 1t loose.
Presently, probably after a look
around, the periscOpe suddenly disap-
peared, and we knew 1t was real one
with German U boat on the end of 1t.
The Brass Hat, in his own boat, was,
of course, in the lead. That was his
prerogative as well as his duty. Like
flock of falcons we were swOoping
down on the prey.
Abruptly the lead boat comes to
dead stop and lists heavily to star

We see men crawl out over the stern
and fish around with boat hooks and
poles Cold as it is one man goes over
board and remains under water so
long we could not believe he would
come up alive.
We can see the Brass Hat gesticu-
lating as we run in closer. We can't
hear what he is saying, but we have
Il pretty good idea. We've listened to
him before when distressed. One of
his men signals that the boat has foul

cheer. but we are inclined that way,

The End of the U Boat.

The End of the u Boat.
But our work is done. There is no
doubt now about the fate of the
U boat 1t is not necessary for one OF
the depth bombs actually to come in
contact with the submerged craft to
destroy it, When under water sub
marines rigidity is multiplied Its
elasticity is next to nothing. An eXplo-
sion as powerful as that of depth
bomb near 1t is almost certain to Grip
pie it if not destroy it. 1t is the same
principle as that which kills fish in a
pond when dynamite is exploded be-
meath the surface of the water. The
shock is sufficient to kill the men in
the U boat, and so we glide along
homeward secure In the knowledge
that even If our gunfire did not finish
the enemy the bombs have done the
work. On the surface we notice swarms
Of dead fish.

HE was submerged in one of our

MAX kicked himself free of his

he decided to run full speed ahead and
ram her instead of waiting to fire his
guns. He crowded on every ounce of
power he could and crashed down into
the hull Of the submarine.
1.-The shock as he struck her just
abaft the coming tower knocked ev-
cry one of his men off their feet and
denied his own bow badly. When they
picked themselves up there was one
wild scramble to get forward with the
lance bombs"
The lance bombs, l might explain,
are bombs fastened to instruments
somewhat like harpoOns which stick to
the side of the submarine and explode.
Their chief characteristic is their liza
bility to go off before you can throw
them and blow the hurler up.
