reach the submarine: this was her
means of persuading the U-boat that it
outranged the Dunraven's guns and
could safely give chase. The decoy mer-
chantman apparently put on extra steam
when the submarine started in her d.
rection at top speed. Here, again, how
ever, the prosper maneuver was not to
run too fast, for her real mission was
to get caught. On the other hand, had
she slowed down perceptibly, that in
itself would have aroused suspicion. Her
game, therefore, was to decrease speed
gradually so that the U-boat would
think that 1t was overtaking it's enemy
by its own exertions. All during this
queer kind OF chase the submarine
and the cargo ship were peppering each
other with shells, one seriously, the
other merely in pretanse.
The mere fact that naval crew, with
such a fine target as an exposed sub
marine, could shoot with conscious ef-
fort not to hit but merely to lure the
enemy to a better position, in itself is
an eloquent evidence of the perfect dis
cipline which prevailed in the mystery
ship service. Not to aim a fair shot
upon the detested vessel. when there
was possibility of hitting it,. was al

most too much to ask Of human nature.
But 1t was essential to success with
these vessels never to fire with the in
tention of hitting unless there was a
practical certainty of sinking the sub
marine. All energies were focused
upon the supreme task of inducing the
enemy to expose itself completely within
three or four hundred yards of the dis
guised froighter.
In an hour or two the submarine
landed shot that seemed to have
done serious damage. At least huge
clouds of steam arose from the en-
gine room, furnishing external evil
dence that the engines or Dollars had
been disabled. The submarine COM
mander did not know that this was
trick; that the vessel was fitted
with a specially arranged pipe around
the engine room hatch which could
emit these bursts of steam at a mo-
ment's notice, all for the purpose Of
making him believe that the vitals

mystery ship. Though seemingly a
harmless tramp she carried number of
guns, also two torpedo tubes and sew
eral depth charges; but, even from her
deck, nothing was visible except the
usual merchant gun aft The stern of
the Dunraven was a veritable arsenal
Besides the guns and depth charges, the
magazine and shellrooms were con-
cealed there; on each side of the ship
masked torpedo tube held it's missile
ready for a chance shot at submarine,
and the forward deck contained other
armament. Such was the Dunraven,
plowing her way along. quietly and in
Inherently, even when, as on this August
morning, submarine was lying on the
horizon, planning to make her its prey.
As soon as the disguised merchant
man spotted this enemy ghe began to
behave in character When an armed
merchant ship got within range of a
submarine on the surface, she frequent
ly let fly shot on the chance of a hit.
That was, therefore. the proper thing
for the Dunraven 10 do: 1t was really
all part of the game of false pretense
In which she was engaged. However.
she took pains that the shell should not

and the Mediterranean, probably carry

allies in Italy and the east. On her
stern 2R-pounder gun, clearly visible
to all observers, helped to emphasize
this impression. Yet the apparently in
nocent Dunraven was far more serious
enemy to the submarine than appeared
on the surface. The mere fact that the
commander was not an experienced
merchant salt but Capt. Gordon Camp
bell OF the royal navy, in itself would
have made the Dunraven an object Of
terror to any lurking submarine, for
Capt Campbell's name was a familiar
one to the Germans by this time. Yet
1t would have taken a careful investi-
cation to detect in the rough and un-
kempt figure of Capt. Campbell any re-
semblance to an officer of the British
navy. or to identify the untidy seamen
as regularly enrolled British sailors.

happened. Not only one. but three

with his view. 1t was the part of wisl
dom to choose the latter course; but
under existing conditions. such a de.
cision involved not only great nerve.
but absolute confidence in his men. For
all this time the fire at the stern was
increasing in fierceness. In brief

were stationed there. II he should wait

OUR LOVED ONES GONE.

Many changes overtake US
On our journey here below;
Some strokes fall that almost break US
AS through life we onward go.
Some whom we have long years cher
ished,
And whose love was pure and strong
With the summer flowers have faded,
And have joined the heavily throng.
How fond memories linger round them
AS the days are passing by
But how sweet twill be to meet them
In that home beyond the sky.
They were once our dearest treasure,
AS we journed hand in hand
Filled our lives with sweetest pleasure
AS they tarried with our band.
And while earthly ties are severed,
Loves immortal dreams the same
In that long and bright forever,
Love and friends unite again.
They have left this world behind them
And have gone at Gods command
Yet we know just where to find them,
In that blissful summer-land.
They have fought their final battle,
And a victory they have scored,
AS they rest within the bosom
Of their glorious risen Lord.
And we soon expect to join them
In that land of praise and song
There to chant His praise forever
With that bright celestial throng.
There We'll see and be like Jesus,
And His matchless name adore,
In that land of fadeless beauty
On that happy golden shore.
