''PANIC PARTIES
SERVED TO LURE
ENEMY U-BOATS
Operations Of British Mystery
Ships Made Public by ADJ
miralty.
tBy Associated Press,

(By Associated Press,
LODNON, Dec. 21.-One Of the most
exciting chapters Of the war against
German U-boats Is a series Of accounts
OF notable engagements between Brit
ish decoy ships and the submarines,
made public by the British Admiralty.
While the whole story of the part
played by these decoy vessels, "mys-
terry ships" or 20" craft has not been
revealed, it Is evident that several OF
them were used to lure the Hun I'M
dersea craft to their destruction.
Some incidents in this campaign
already have been made known, deal
ing chiefly with few of the exploits
Of Commander Gordon Campbell, as
master of the decoy vessels; but 9TH
ers In which he and other captains
participated now are available. That
at least a small feet was used in this
work Is evident from the fact that
Campbell at different times appears as
the master of the Marlborough, the
Pargust, the Dunraven, and the Q-5.
The Prize, another decoy ship, was
commanded by Lieut.. William E. San
ders and the Stock Force by Lieut.
Harold Auten.
Stories Of HeroIsn,.
Stories of the encounters between
these ships and the U-boats are filled
with deeds Of heroism and instances
in which the discipline Of the British
Navy was displayed under the trying
circumstances. For many months the
decoy ships, heavily armed, but with
their guns hidden behind false bull
warks. steamed zigzag paths In the
seas which were the hunting grounds
OF the submarine.
In their character Of lazy GOLFERS
or slow cargo craft they presented the
submarine commander an inviting OBJ
ject of attack, but once he was we'll
within range of tn British guns, the
false superstructure hiding the guns
fell away and the helpless collier be-
came suddenly transformed into
fighting craft, bent on destruction. 1t
was dangerous work requiring the
high order OF courage for the subma-
rine must be lured near before the
guns could safely begin their work.
Meantime the Hun frequently had
sort his torpedo home and the decoy
ship was disabled, sometimes on fire
and part Of her crew wounded. In
that condition the battle was fought
and often the submarine destroyed.
Panic parties was one OF the rus
ea practicsd by the decoy ships COM
Inander to coax the submarine along
side. When the mystery ship was
torpedCad these panic parties took to
tho boats, apparently abandoning their
vessel, bTt always leaving on board
another crew to man the guns and
hnish the Submarine IL 1t came near
ehoagh.
