 "A third and fourth attempt brought no greater success. The enemy, thoroughly alarmed, were ever on the alert to ram her.
 Another effort would not only have been hopeless, but would have un- justifably risked the boat and the lives of the crew, so she returned to her base, as her gallant commander expressed it in his report, prior to making further attempt
 "The enemy, however, is up to many tricks, and his innocent-looking decoy ships have been known to give a submarine sharp surprise On one occasion the submarine sighted what appeared to be a merchantmen, and gave chase, showing the signcl, Stop engines and Send boat.
 When the submarine had closed to about a mile the steamer hoisted the German naval ensign and opened fire with six-inch guns, at the same time increasing speed and altering course so as to ram the submarine.
 "At the time the submarine gun was manned the signals were still fly ng, and there were altogether twelve men on the deck, but she just man. aged to dive in time. Two or three minutes later two loud explosions were heard overhead. Beyond the shaking of the boat violently they did no damage.
 From time to time instances occur of encounters between our submarines and those of the enemy, which provc inconclusive. After many hours of dead reckoning a submarine can not be very sure of her position, and in one such encounter a British subma- rine thought for some time that her adversary, which was approximately end on, was her consort out of sta tiOn.
 Realizing her mistake, she dived at once, but before she could pick up the German in her periscope, the lat ter dived Under the circumstances, 'stalemate' was practically inevitable, and after an hour and a half, during which they simultaneously rose and simultaneously dived again, each ma neuvering for favorable position for attack, the German retired out of the area"

 times forced to dive under our own warships to avoid interfering with their movements.
 Sudden alterations of course and depth, the swish of propellers over head, and the concussion of bursting shells, give an indication to the crew of the risks to which they are being exposed, and it speaks well for the morale of these young officers and men, and their gallant faith in their captains, that they have invariably carried out their duties quietly, keenly and confidently under condi. tions that might well have tried the most hardened veteran.
 "'The hardships undergone during stormy weather are terrible. During the winter months westerly gales were frequently experienced in the blight, and these gales were invari ably accompanied by high, steep seas which made it impossible to open the coming tower hatch. Vision was linn ited to that through the periscope, and was only a cable or two between the seas which continually broke over them.
 "'There was no rest at the bottom, even at twenty-two fathoms, gas the vessels rolled and bumped danger. ously. They were, consequently, compelled to keep under way at a depth clear of the keels of possible ships. When battery power became low the submarine had perforce to come to the surface to recharge While on the surface it was essential to run the engines in order to keep head to sea, and through the venti 1ator-which, with the engines run, ming, must necessarily be kept open much water was shipped.
 ""The seamen got very little sleep owing to cold. With these words the captain of a submarine concludes his report on a cruise in the North sea.

 -Four battleships of the Kaiser class were sighted by submarine which was patrolling off the Danish coast. Probably there were other yes sels in company, but owing to low visibility they were not seen. After getting into position to attack, the submarine broke surface, owng to the go full speed to get her under again. Just before the periscope dipped sights were got on the third ship in the line and four torpedoes were fired. The range was estimated at 4,00O yards. Two loud explosions were heard and the commanding officer of the submarine was of the opinion that the third and fourth ships in the line were each hit by torpedo.
 "As the submarine was about to rise to observe the results of the shots, destroyer was heard to pass very close overhead, and after that she was continually harassed by de- strOyers. Two depth charges ex- ploded in close proximity to her, and sweep was distinctly heard to drag over her hull. For two hours the de- stroyers searched diligently for her, but without success.
 Some failures may be described as more glorious than victories, and the attempt 6f a submarine to pass through the Sound into the Baltic is surely one of these, replete as it is with pluck and persistence.
 "It was known that the German fleet was exercising in the Baltic, and three submarines, X, and z, were detailed to make the passage of the Sound and attack. It was es- sential that the three vessels should pass through the Sound the same certain defects, and was unable to keep up with the other two. The result was that she reached the en- trance to the Sound the night after Y and z had successfully made the passage. Their presence was discov- cred in the Baltic, and the enemy took all possible steps to prevent either their getting out of the Baltic or others getting in.
 What X found was four merchant ships in line abreast proceeding through the narrow entrance to the Sound, and from the accurate station they kept it was evident that they were sweeping. Beyond them were destroyers.
 gation lights, and accordingly X thought it would be best to do so too, hoping to pass without attracting at- tention.
 "She had not proceeded far before she was detected by a destroyer, which tried to ram her. Her only course was to dive, and as she sank in the water she heard the threshing of the enemy's propellers above her.
 "To make the passage with lights burning was clearly out of the ques- tion, and, nothing daunted, she re- turned, silently and stealthily creep ing on the surface, until she got into the wake of a vessel proceeding through the Sound, hoping to be able to follow her unobserved.

EnuIish Like Hiking.

A diligent study of American news
papers discloses many crazes that
seize the people of these islands,
which the islands themselves seem
strangely of.
From such a source 1 learn that hik-
Ing is very popular in England, where
"a party of young people, sensibly
dressed and with slaves, start at six
or seven o'clock in the morning, carry
q few sandwiches and a drink, walk
along country roads until noon, picnic
and rest during the heat of the day,
and then walk home in the cool of
the evening, refreshingly tired for
such a nights sleep as only the true
hiker knows"
Apparently it is the latest name fol
a country ramble. Anyhow, Americans
are being persuaded to hike more, the
result of which is an increased sturdi'
ness of mind and body.-Londor
