few minutes later-at half-past
3 o'clock-the outlines of a small
craft could be dimly seen through the
mist. 1t stood end on to US at first
but presently turned and disclosed
itself as an American torpedo boat
destroyer with four tunnels.
At the command ready for action"
the men sprang to their fighting
posts, the Diesel motors were stopped
and the U53 raced ahead at undimin-
ished speed, driven by her two pow
erful electric motors
Another quick order:
''Submerge!"
The outlook and the officer Of the
watch went below and l followed
them after a last glance about me,
closing the manhole cover myself In
the moment that the air began to hiss
from the diving tanks. The U53 dis
appeared gently. Only the wrist
thick end Of the periscope made
light wake on the surface. The
torpedces were made clear. In two
or three minutes everything was
ready for the work ahead.
l stood at the periscope and fol-
lowed the movements of our oppo-
nent. The ship moved at low speed
and in a zigzag course. At times she
appeared almost to stop. l could not
see what she was firing at. Behind
me stood my head pilot. equipped with
sextant and stop-watch. From min
ute to minute we noted our position
and that of the enemy ship on his
index table, in order to determine as
nearly 4as possible the speed and
course of the enemy.

but finally decided to let mercy pre-
vail In order to do what / could to
bring a bit of chivalry into the
conflict.
Shortly before II o'clock at night
we had the satisfaction to intercept
the following radio:
"UZAG on Lands End: U. 8. s.
Jacob Jones torpedoed 1925 1922 at
S pm. Survivors on board; three
RATS still at large"
Our call had been heard and needed.
Our prisoners accommodated them
selves rapidly to their new manner of
life and they and the crew became
fast friends.
One was a middle-aged man named
Murphy, cook; the other a youth
around eighteen, signalman named
Alfred De Mello, of Portuguese de-
scent.
fitted them out with pipes and the
| crew gave them some tobacco. When
the weather was good the crew used
to come up on deck and sing the old
German songs. Then Murphy and De
Mello contributed American airs, "Oh,

and so on-'IHiawatha," / think, was
the name of it--and Yankee Doodle"
and other songs.
The time hung bit heavily on the
hands of Murphy, the quiet Yankee.
He came to me one day and begged to
be allowed to peel potatoes.

crew if you want to-"
He went away happy and started

THE humming motors drove us on

enemy. The destroyer turned toward
the north. 1 altered our course so
that We should meet her almost at

THE two prisoners were separated

curious.
The entire surface of the shoe soles
