Slowly the scraping passed along

Hardly had this menace passed

than the other two, again shook the
craft.

that at any moment the attack might

that their depth charges had done
their work, and there were no more
explosions. For eight hours longer,
however, the submarine remained on

Crew of British Submar-
inc Describes Sensation
In Near Accident

LONDON. July e:-What is It like
to the crew of a German submarine
which is sent to the bottom by allied
d~estroyers?
A British submarines crew which
recently had a narrow escape from
sinking knows, because 1t had the ex-
perience and came out alive. From
dry official sources has been culled
this remarkable story of human en-
durance and nerves of steel.
The British under-sea craft was
cruising on the North Sea when 1t
sighted several German destroyers SO
near that 1t was forced to dive at the
greatest speed.
So rapid was the descent that the
submarines. helm TANNED. Before
the commander could right his craft,
a violent explosion, caused by a depth
charge fired by n of the German
boats, shook the vessel. So severe
vas 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 sea.
A hasty examination showed that
the boat was unchanged except for
the jamming of the helm. There was
nothing to do but lie quiet on the bot
tom and hide from the pursuers the
crafts whereabouts.
There came a second explosion, as
