Exciting Incident in the Life Of a
Raider Patrol of British
Navy.
SINKING OF The TURRl1ELLA
Germans Nearly Fooled the English but
Were Betrayed When They Spelled
Alden With a "T"-Destroyed
the Vessel Themselves.

London.-Little by little the world
is learning some of the romance and
excitement that ut times punctuated
the rather prosaic lives of the men who
patrolled the seas and kept the ocean
traffie-ianes open for allied shipping.
The dangers that lurked In the Arabian
seas and Indian ocean have been
known In general way from the too
frequent admiralty reports Of ships
sunk there by submarines and raiders.
An episode in the life of a raider pa
troll is told by a correspondent of the
London Times, as follows:
At the beginning Of March, 1917.
was I'm II. M. 8. - on the Alden
patrol-a dull job, as all patrolling
jobs are. But we did not pretend to
be pining for the more thrilling occu-
patton of searching for the German
raider Wolf. Her guns could outrange
the guns of our little ship, so effectual-
ly, that, had we met her, we should
probably have been blown out of the
sea before we could put shot any
where near her, and, frankly, we had
no great desire to meet her.
About 10 o'clock one evening a sig
mailman appeared at the wardroom
door with message from the bridge,
"From the officer of the watch, sir.
Ship on the starboard bow showing no
lights"
Probably an old tramp scared out
of his wits by these yarns about the
Wolf" suggested someone.
"All these merchantmen are going
about without lights nowadays"
The captain and the navigator went
up to the bridge, where they were
presently joined by the first lieutenant.
The moon was nearly full, casting a
white track across the dark blue car
pet of the sea. 1t was the kind of
night that brings back memories of q
Thames regatta, of lounging In we'll
cushioned punt, and listening to good
band. To connect such night with
German raiders, guns, mines and tor
pedoes was quite impossible; the whole
setting was entirely wrong.
The mysterious ship was now two
points on our port bow, and about
three miles ahead. A thick volume Of
smoke pouring from her funnel sug-
gested that she was in hurry, or, at
all events, was not disposed to be So
ciable with us. We had been ambling
along comfortably at eight knots; the
order was given to increase to ten.
The shutter of our signal lamp began
to rattle.
"What ship Is that?'
Claimed British Registry.
The signalman had to repeat the
question twice before he evoked an
answer.
'Toritella." was the belated reply.
"What nationality" we asked
promptly.
British" was the answer.
"What are your signal letters?" was
our next question.
-. f. X. L." came the answer.
We hunted up the name in Lloyd's
list, but without success.
"Are you sure you have got his
name right, signalman? Ask him
again"
what is your name?" asked the
patient signaman. This time the mys-
FERROUS stranger expanded volubly.
"Turritella, London. Runs for Brit
ish admiralty, Port Said for orders"
