ships, heavily armed, but with their
guns hidden behind false bulwarks,
steamed zigzag paths In the seas which
were the hunting grounds of the SUBJ
marines.
In their character Of lazy Golfers or
slow cargo craft they presented to the
submarine commander an inviting OBJ
ject of attack, but once he was well
within range of the British guns the
false superstructure hiding the guns
fell away and the helpless collier be-
came suddenly transformed into a
fighting craft, bent on destruction. 1t
was dangerous work, requiring q high
order of courage, for the submarine
must be lured near before the guns
could safely begin their work. Mean.
time the Hun frequently had sent his
torpedo home, and the decoy ship was
disabled, sometimes on fire and part
Of her crew wounded. In that condi.
ton the battle was fought and often
the submarine destroyed.
"Panic parties" was one of the ruses
practiced by the decoy ships COM
mander to coax the submarine along.
side. When the mystery ship was tor
pedoed these panic parties took to the
boats, apparently abandoning their
vessel, but always leaving on board
another crew to man the guns and fin
ish the submarine IL 1t came near
enough.
The first encounter mentioned by
the admiralty occurred in March, 1916,
when the Marlborough, disguised as a
collier, was attacked by a submarine.
The 'panic party" took to the boats,
and when the submarine closed in to
about 800 yards the Marlborough
opened fire on her. The U-boat SUBJ
merged and the Marlborough passed
over her, dropping depth bombs. The
submarine r~eappeared, standing al
most on end. Five rounds we're fired
into her at nearly point-blank range,
and she went to the bottom of the
sea.
Sunk by Gunfire.
Prior to that action the Marlborough
had cruised throughout the entire win
ter without being attacked. Within a
month the Marlborough coaxed an
other submarine near enough to sink
her by gunflre.
Commander Campbell later was
transferred to the command Of the
Q-5, and In the following February,
1917, his vessel was torpedoed by a
submarine, which eventually APP

the submarine was sunk, with her con-
ming tower open and her crew pour

In and beached her. For this exploit
the Victoria Cross was awarded to
Campbell.
The decoy ship Pargust, with Camp
bell In command, was torpedoed on
June z, 1917, when disguised as a
British merchant vessel. The subma-
rine came within so yards of the Par
gust, which then opened fire on her
with all guns. The submarine crew
poured out of the coming tower and
held up their hands in token of sur
render, but the U-boat steamed away,
trying to escape in the mist. The
pargust again opened fire on her, and
sunk her with one man clinging to her
bow as she went down. The decoy
vessel was towed back to port by
American destroyers. Two Victoria
crosses were awarded for this success
