merchantsnips. The seaplane dived
at ninety miles an hour. The sub
marine attempted to escape by sub
merging, but was just awash as the
seaplane reached bombing po-
sition and released two bombs, one
of which exploded on the coming
tower. The seaplane dropped two
more bombs into the midst of he
air bubbles from the collapsed sub
marine, which was of the largest
type, carrying two guns"
Plane Photographs Submarine
The second case: cat dawn a sea-
plane sighted large submarine on
the surface with a member of the
crew standing by the gun. The sea
plane dropped bomb on the tail of
tine U-boat and afterwards photo
aphed the sinking submarine with
a big hole in its deck. A second
bomb was dropped close to the SUI
marines bow and the U-boat COL
iansed." :
The third case: 1.-TWO seaplanes
attacked large submarine travelling
on the surface at fourteen knots,
with two men in the coming tower.
bomb was exploded close to the
corning tower and the submarine
began to sink stern first. A bomb
from a. second seaplane completed
tls work."
Disappears in Oil and WreckaSe
The fourth case: "Three patrol
planes sighted a large submarine as
1t was submerging and dropped two
combs close to the coming tower,
causing the submarine to turn turtle
and disappear in a mass of oil and
wreckage."
The fifth case: "a seaplane sight
ed two submarines close to the sur
face and dropped two bombs. One
bomb was ineffective, but the other
hit the deck fairly amidships. The
submarine was hidden by the smoke
of the explosion and when the smoke
cleared the U-boat was sinking, with
both ends in the air"
The sixth case: "a seaplane saw
the track of a torpedo fired at a
merchantman. 1t dived toward the
surface and sighted the black shades
of the submarine, we'll below the
surface. 1t dropped two bombs,
which both exploded close to the
submarine, resulting in large guam
tity of OIL bubbles and wreckage."
The seventh case: 1.-TWO seaplanes
sighted U-boat on the surface and
dropped a bomb each. The first
bomb caused heavy list to the u

Second Bomb Completes Work
The eighth case: "A seaplane.
dropped bomb on q submarine just
emerging and the U-boat disappear
ed with a heavy list to port. The
pilot dropped a second bomb into
the swirl and a few minutes later Il
patch of oil $50 feet long and twelve
feet wide appeared on the surface"
The ninth case: "a naval airship
at midday sighted a suspicious patch
of oil and circled it in an effort to
ascertain the cause. Suddenly peri
scope broke the surface in the midst
| of the oil. The airship dropped a
bomb close to the periscope and
series of bubbles began appearing,
indicating that the damaged sub
marine was moving slowly away un-
der the water. Several more bombs
were dropped in the path indicated,
until satisfactory evidence was OBJ
tained of the enemy's destruction"
| The tenth case: 'An airship
dropped two bombs over SUBJ
marine which was engaged in at.
tacking merchantmen. Great patches
of oil and bubbles indicated severe
damage and trawlers made this
complete by depth charges" "s,sos.fA
