U-Boat Up Three Times.
The U-boat approached them and or
dered the survivors TO come on board
the submarine. They shouted back
that they were capsized and could not
move. Three times the submarine
came up with similar invitation;
three times the commander received
the same reply. Then the U-boat
came alongside one Of the upturned
boats, took the name of the ship and
the master and all the details. The
crew of the enemy craft was asked by
these shipwrecked men TO help right
their boat for them. but no answer
was given, though the Germans must
have heard the frantic knockings of
one poor chap imprisoned under the
capsized boat and who was trying to
attract attention to his pitiful plight.
The submarine steamed ahead and
put the helm hard over with the re-

back TO their boat, with tn man still

later they were rescued.
The Germans take elaborate steps to
find out the name of the ship they
have sunk and the nature of her cargo.
In one case a master. while engaged
