Memphis Naval Officer Com
manded Isabel in Brush
With U -Boats. +

Fresh from a cruise in the Mediter-
ranean as commanding officer of the
destroyer Elliott, Lieut.. Commander
Ernest l.. Gunther, son Of NJ, H. Gun
Their, cotton buyer, reached Memphis
Friday for a short leave of absence.
The Elliot, n of the new type
!, 540-ton d~estroyers, patrolled the water
of the Adriatic during the past few
months, reaching Philadelphia about
June |. The cruise was ~uneVentful, aC-
Cording to Lieut.. Gunther, but all was
kept in readiness for action in case the
peace negotiations should suffer a set
back.
Lieut.. Gunther was placed in com
mand Of the new destroyer In recogni-
ton Of his splendid record during the
trying times Of the submarine menace,
and vessels under his command had
more than one brush with undersea
craft while cruising around the Azores
in the path of trans Atlantic trade to
America from Spanish ports.
Lieut., Gunther, before he was made
commander of the Elliot, was senior
officer in command of the destroyer
Jarvis, but the most exciting events
he passed through were while In COM
mand of the converted yacht Isabel
of the antisubmarine flotilla which re-
visited Memphis.
The Isabel. with its subchasers and
other accompanying craft during the
latter part Of 1917 and the early part
of 1918 was constantly on the alert for
U-boats and Is accredited of ~partici-
pating In at least two fights,
