London, Aug. 6.-Revelations regard

correspondent of the London Mail.
They show how British seamen
have met German craft and summing
Until this week the public has known
nothing about the mystery ship or 90
ship, although several officers notably
Capt Gordon Temple has been decor

Details can now be made pub
lie as the Germans are now aware
of the methods. How "wOmal:
and baby" accounted for U-boat is
told by the correspondent. The sub
marine ordered a vessel to surrender
and fired few shells into her. The
crew then left the ship leaving on
board woman who ran up ana
down the deck with baby in her
arms, running up and down as though
mad. The woman then hurled the

serving as captain. who placed =
haystack on board an ancient lookins
craft. When the U-boat ordered her

tonished to receive a broadside from
the haystack.
On another occasion, seaworn
tramp steamer was crossing the North
Sea, when a submarine ordered the
crew to abandon ship.
The bombs with which the Germans
intended to sink the vessel were
btought on deck around the coming
tower. The commander of the tramp
steamer by careful maneuvering
brought the submarine within range
of his concealed armament so it re.
quired only a shell or two to blow
the U-boat out of the water.

also the practice. particularly in re-
