With Fright Expects Instant Death
When Hs Recognizes Reseuera

In small seacoast village cemeter,
within q days travel of Londor
there are seventeen graves side BY
side where British sailors some time
ago buried seventeen German sailors
all but one Of U-boat which wal
sunk by one Of Its own mines Just out
side the village. Publication Of the
story, without mention of place, name,
and some other details, is now per
mitted.
The population Of the village was
awakened at half.past ten o'clock one
night by terrific explosion on the
water front, followed few moments
later by a second explosion. The vii
layers ran down to the beach, but the
lifeboat could not be used because
there was no one on hand who could
run the engine. Two Dared lifeboats
were dragged from storage In q near
by shed and manned by boys and old
men.
One OF Crew Rescued.
No ship was In sight, nor was there
any further sound to guide the rescue
party. Nevertheless, the boats put out
into the black night and presently one
Of them returned with one rescued
man, almost completely exhausted.
The man was carried to the nearest
house, dazed, shivering and nearly
paralyzed with fright at the sight Of
the uniforms worn by the police and
coast guards. He expected instant
death. The villagers reassured him,
and gradually his terror vanished.
In answering questions the man said
he was the captain Of German mine
laying submarine. He had been or
dered to lay ten mines along the coast
and nine Of these had been unloaded
successfully when the U.boat struck
one Of them.
Submarine Blown In Two.
All the lights were extlngulshed by
the explosion and almost Immediately
afterward one of the mines left In
the boat let 20. The captain, still un-
injured, managed to get through the
hatch and into the water. The sub
marine was blown In two.
The prisoner was visibly anxious
about the loss Of his boots. These
were recovered eventually from the
water and a number Of confidential pa
pers were found stitched inside the
lining.
The submarine was raised and
towed into port. The hulk contained
IT dead Germans and several live
mines, one OF which is on exhibition
at the village pier as a trophy. The
wreck Of the submarine has been in-
spected by number Of visitors. In

COMING ATTRACTION
AT THE COLONIAL
His Bridal Night" To Be Pre-
sented Saturday Matinee And
Night.

Few of the present day farces have
met with the success of His Bridal
Night" which will be presented at
the Colonial Theatre for an engage
ment on Saturday, matinee and night,
April 18th.
The dramatic critic of the Boston
American had the following to say:
" His Bridal Night pleased a capac-
ity audience at the Wilbur Theatre
last night. 1t was whispered before
hand that the piece was quite broad
would see and hear things that those
who postponed their visit might miss.
A base SANDER. There is nothing,
ladies and gentlemen, in this show to
harm the most fastidious. Indeed, as
farces go nowadays, one has to be
very, very naughty about it. A stage
glance or an aside now and then re
minds you might expect something
you ought not to expect if you were
expecting something that you should
not expect. But it never happens.
His Bridal Night is an involved
farce with a great deal of humor and
many clever situations largely de-
pendent on the likeness of twin sis
ters, one of whom is a bride at the
beginning of the story, whose husband
finds himself unable TO tell her from
her equally pretty sister. To go fur
Their into the story, would be TO spoil
it for those who intend seeing it. One
should be able TO guess from this
much of a synopsis about what hap
pens in the essentials"
