But a real submarine scare DO

had been wrclessing. Code mes

there was no doubt but that they
were directions TO certain submarines.
one OF the ships officers explained
that the submarines came to the sur

instructions for tho following twenty
four hours. Here was a convoy that
was one OF the largest to be sent
across the ocean, and il was realized
that If the Germans knew OF Il. they
would bend every effort tc sink the

The scare became more pronounced
on Friday April 20. when the Cedric

II was all a very fine beginning or
n very fine voyage. although on the
following day heavy swells were en-
countered and most OF the New YORK
soldlers, who only the day before had
shown such elatlon, were now
sprawled about on deck suffering
from sea sickness. But there Is on'y
ono kind OF illness recognized IN the
limited states Army-that OF pe'hs
too sick for duty-and at dinereht
neriods OF the day all hands were
upceremoniously summoned by the
blast OF a whistle for the 'aoahuon

hlew the whistle. and 1t was the du'S
OF the soldiers TO at once report 10
the various posts assigned TO them
No soldier ever knew whether thls
drill meant that submarine had oeeh
sighted and the Cedric was IN peril
or IL was an ordinary practise ahair'
So generally the sodsick ones went 10
their posts with as much agllltS as

Sir Ernest Shackloton was on board
