London, Dec. i2-Death in varied
forms menaced and played for many
hours with the crew OF the British
submarine ELI, wrecked and finally
sung, after a gallant fight for life. Off
the coast of Holland, according to the
stor~ OF her commander now for the
first ne told. His account gives
vivid picture of an all night struggle
to save the submarine and her COM
pany from the battering Of the waves
which hammered fhe lttle vessel
upbn the shoal of a fight with fire in
her hold, against leaks that threatened
to fill her with water and to catch and
secure a torpedo thrown from its
lashings with its war-head in place,
menacing all with instant destruction.
Freed from the shoal only to be
confronted by an apparently nostle
cruiser bent on their destruction, the
submarine commander tells how he
was driven to the deperate resource
of submerging in a waterlogged craft
and of the suspense of the critical
moments when he discovered that his
vessel was filling at the bottom of the
ocean and of tSht back to the sur
face to face the guns of the cruiser.
Writing from Dutch internment
camp, the E-17s commander, after
telling of the stranding of the subma-
rine and they ain struggle to float her,

The water was halfway up the con-

thing, so I started down again with
the idea Of closing the lower door. I
had barely got to the edge of the
hole when the water came. The
first wave hit the lid a great smack,
and luckily broke the obstruction and
closed the lid with a bang, although
an avalanche of water got into the
boat first.

to stand without holding on to

get back to the surface at all. The
boat had gone right down until she
touched bottom with her tail. AS
