HUNTING U.BoATs By
AlRSHlP PROVES a
GREAT SEA SPORT.
(By Associated Prcss.)

London. July 30.-(British Wire
Service) A sea sport which has
arisen out Of the wsr-huntinr Ger
man submarines by airship--is de-
seribed in The Times. The writer's
story concludes with telling how the
crew Of the U-boat apparently pre-
fcrred death TO being captured.
One Of the crew Of an airship
spotted a submarine lying on the bed
Of the ocean. in fairly shallow water.
"The wireless sparkled." reads the
account in The Times, "and soon
away on the horizon there appeared
a little destroyer. followed far astern
by four squat trawlers, all racing
toward the spot above which the air
ship cruised around.
"The destroyer came up first, Of
course. and il was not long before,
guided by wireless instructions. her
guns were trained in readiness to

trawlers arrived. but things moved

Of action. for they knew their job Of
old.
working in pairs they approached
their victim from opposite directions,
steaming toward each other. Be-
tween each pair a strong sweep
was stretched and allowed to hang In
a huge loop that II might traverse
the seabed. The vessels met and
crossed each others tracks immedi-
ately above the doomed craft. The
sweeps Of either pair engaged the
U-boat fore and aft simultaneously
and held her in a gigantic cradle.
"Thus far the German boat had
shown no signs Of alarm although
those with her must have heard the
ehurning Of the trawlcrs' screws.
Now she suddenly seemed to awake
TO the menace that threatened her y
The article goes on to describe the
fate Of the submarine. "She wrig-

endeavor to escape but Il was use

helplessness OF her plight. she ceased
