HOW IT FEELS To
DIE IN 1 U-bOAT
BY CONDO

London. July 13.-what IS It like to
the crew of a German submarine
which is sent to the bottom by allied
destroyers?
A British submarines crew which
recently had a narrow escape from
sinking knows. because 1t had the ex-
rerienee and came out alive. From
dry official sources has been culled
this remarkable story of human en-
durance and nerves Of steel
The British nndersea craft was
cruising on the North Sea when it
sighted several German destroyers.
SO near that it was forced to dive
at the greatest speed.
So rapid was the descent that the
submarines helm damned. Before
the commander could right his craft.
a violent explosion, caused by a depth
charge fired by one Of the German
boats, shook the vessel. So severe
was the conclusion that the crew
were lifted off their feet.
Unable to stop the descent Of the
submarine. the commander was forced
to dive to the bottom of the ses.
A hasty examination showed that
the boat was unchanged except for
the tanning of the helm. There was
nothing to do but lie quiet on the
bottom and hide from the pursuers
the crafts Whereabouts.
Then came second explosion. rs
violent as the first.
All motors were stopped and even
the ventilating apparatus was shut
off During the twenty minutes fol-
lowing the craft was again carefully
! examined, without signs Of a Leak
age.
suddenly the stout heats Of those
on board were shaken to the limit OF
their endurance.
A loud. scra ping noise swept the
vessel from stem to stern. It was a
trawier's sweep. trying to locate the
submarine II IT caught on the con-
ming tower or entangled a rudder. the
men were lost.
Slowly the scrapfng passed along
the boa. and then ceased after what
seemed hours to the hreathless crew.
The sweep had left the vessel free
Hardly had this menace passed
when a third explosion. more violent
than the other tive. again shock the
craft.
Again the boat was examined for
traces of damage. and when none was
found steps we're taken to put her in
trim again, notwithstanding the fact
that at any moment the attack might
be renewed
But the hunters apparently believed
that their derth charges had done the
work and there were no more expic-
eions Fer eight hours icnEer. how
ever. the submarine remained on the
bottom and then cautiously approach
ed the surface and returned to its
base.
The commander praised hishiv the
sriris af his men when facing death.
Threughout the whsle time they
showed ne sign Of panic.
