HUNTING SUBS
IS new SPORT
New Form Of Hunting With
Airships Described in Ar
ticle in London Paper.

London, July 14.-(British Wireless
Service)-A sea sport which has aris-
en- out of the war-hunting German
submarines by airship-is described
in The Times. The writer's story con-
cludes with telling how the crew Of
the U-boat apparently preferred death
to being captured.
One of the crew of an airship spot
ted a submarine lying on the bed Of
the ocean. in fairly shallow water.
THE wireless sparked,' reads the
account in The Times. "and soon away
on the horizon there appeared al little
destroyer. followed far astern by four
squat trawlers, all racing toward the
spot above which the airship cruised
around.
1.-THE destroyer came up first. OF
course, and it was not long before,
guided by wireless instructions. her
guns were trained in readiness to
greet the unsuspecting U-boat should
to the impatient crew before the
trawlers arrived but things moved
rapidly once they were at the scene
of action, for they knew their job Of
old.
Working in pairs they approached
their victim from opposite directions
steaming toward each other. Between
each pair a strong sweep. Was
stretched and allowed TO hang In
huge loop that it might traverse the
seabed. The vessels met and crossed
each others tracks immediately above
the doomed craft. The sweeps, OF
either pair engaged the U-boat fore
and aft simultaneously and held her
in a gigantic cradle. !
Thus far the German boat had
shown no signs of alarm although
those within her must have heard the
churning Of the trawlers' screws Now
she suddenly seemed t o awake to the
menace that threatened her." The
article goes on to describe the fate Of
the submarine. "She wriggled and
squfrmed about In a frantic endeavnr
to escape but It wan useless. Not
loophole was there to be found, and
at length. realizing the helpieMnsss
OF her plight, she ceased to struggle

on board the airshtp to the destroyer
