Describing the submarine the British captain said:
 She was a fairly large craft. Of re- cent numbering, having three torpe- do tubes. two in the bow and one aft, and carried ten torpedoes. She was also armed with a gun for shell fire just forward of the coming tower.
 My first meal aboard the U-boat consisted of stew made with stringy Tleat probably horseflesh, supple nented by small portions of sausage with black bread. As the voyage progressed this bread became mill dewed and uneatable, and then some 1 bread of lighter color, which had been kept In dramatically sealed re- ceptacles was served but was even more unpalatable than the black bread. The coffee was made of burn ed barley and acorns. The com mander and officers of the U-boat fared as the lower ratings, but were able to supplement their allowances with timed ham and other canned food"
 As the submarine was forced to keep below the waters surface a great deal of the time life aboard the sub marine was anything but pleasant.
 "The boat sweated and all spare clothing became saturated with mois- ture, while the atmosphere often be- came foul and breathing difficult" he asserted. While we were submerg- ed the crew would start the gramo- phone. That machine supplied, the music which was played triumphant ly when the U-boat got another vic- tim. Really the sinking of any in- nocent merchantmen caused tha crew as much joy as if the members had sunk a war ship.
 "One night there was more than the usual amount of rejoicing and the gramophones liveliest airs were play ed. The Germans had torpedoed an oil tanker which, according to the commander, sank in thirty seconds.

 into the coming tower and saw the
 officers amusing themselves by shoot ing at gulls or empty bottles.
 By this time the submarine evil
 dently had reached the extreme out
 ward point of her voyage, and we started on our return trip to Helgo- |. land. Three Norwegian ships were stopped for the purpose of obtaining
 fl esh food. Soon after this there was much excitement when it was as- ! certMined that there was a British submarine in our vicinity. By lis tening the crew could hear the enemy submarine, and the Germans feared 7 she was going to attack us. We sub 7 merged and eventually lodged the British vessel.

 evening, providing the weather. ant r other conditions were favorable, the r German commander remained on the waters surface in wireless communi l cation with his base"
