up on the structure amidships, which
was just under the coming tower, and
sQuatted down on the deck beneath
the structure.
Then the gas engines started up

while they shut off the gas engines
to submerge. When we were all the
way under / looked through the peri
scope and saw Dutch merchantmen.
We stayed under about half an hour
and then came back to the surface.
One of the garbies was telling me
later on that this same sub had gone
out Of control few weeks before
and kept diving and diving until she
struck bottom. do not know how
many fathoms down it was, but it was
farther than any commander would
take sub if he could help it. This
garby said they could hear the plates
cracking and it was wonder that
they did not crumple up from the
pressure, but she weathered it, pres
sure, button and all, and in quarter
of an hour was on the surface. While
on the surface they sighted smoke,
submerged again, and soon, over the
horizon came eight battleships, es.
corted by Zepps and destroyers.
They tested their tubes before they
got in range. Finally they let 60. The
first shot missed, but after that they
got into 1t good and the garby said all
you could hear was the knocking Of
the detonated guncotton.
About five minutes later they sight
ed five destroyers, two on each bow,
and one dead ahead. The sub steered
in ut right angle zigzags and the de-
str0yers stayed with their convoy. The
sub launched two torpedoes at less
than mile before diving, to get away
from the destroyers and the garby
said at least one of them was hit.

But there was q nurse there, who
took special interest in his case, and
she stayed up day and night for some
time and finally brought him through.
The case was very well known, and
everybody said she had performed a
miracle. He got better slowly.
Then few weeks later, when he
was out of danger and was able to
walk, and it was only question of
time before he would be released from
the hospital, this nurse was trans
ferred to another hospital. Everybody
knew her and liked her, and when she
went around to say good-by, all the
men were sorry and gave her little
presents, and wanted her to write to
them. She was going to get a nurse
she knew in the other hospital to turn
her letters into English, so that she
could write to me. gave her a ring
had made from a piece of shell case,
but l guess she had hundreds of them
at that.
But this German doctor would not
say good-by to her. That would not
have made me sore, but it made this
French girl feel very bad, and she be-
gan to cry. One of the French officers
saw her and found out about the doc
tor, and the officer went up and spoke
to the German. Then the French Of
ficer left, and the German called to
the nurse and she went over to him
and stopped crying.
They talked for little while, and
then she put out her hands as If she
was going to leave. He put out his
hands, too, and took hold Of hers. And
then he twisted her wrists and broke
them. We heard the snap.
There were men in that ward who
had not been on foot since the day
they came to the hospital, and one Of
them was supposed to be dying, but it
is an absolute fact that when we heard
her scream, there was not a man left
in bed.
need not tell you what we did to
the German. They did not need to
shoot him, after we got through with
him. They did shoot what was left of
him, to make sure, though.
Now, have heard people say that
1t is not the Germans we are fighting,
but the kaiser and his system. Well,
1t may be true that some of the Boche
soldiers would not do these things if
they did not have to: myself, am not
SO sure.
But you take this doctor. Here he

and neither do !, that there were not

cause there were--lots of them. But

opportunity to recruit by mail.
While we were in Brest I got per.
mission to go aboard a submarine
and petty officer showed me around.
This was the first time I was in the
interior Of sub and I told the officer
that would like to take spin in the
tub myself. He introduced me to the
commander, but the petty officer said
he did not think they would let me
stay aboard. I showed the COM
mander my passport and talked to
him for a while, and he said he
would take me on their practice
cruise two days later If the Old Man
gave me written permission.
So I hot-footed it back to the Cas-
sard and while / did not promise that
I would get any American gunners for
him in exchange for the written per.
mission, he was free to think that if
he wanted to. It seems as though he
did take 1t that way, for he gave me
note to the sub commander and sent
him another note by messenger. I
wanted Murray to 60 too. but the Old
Man said one was enough.
