(o the Imperial Navy, The men.replied that they were simply fishermen, and that they had only one suit for (Sunday, During the whole of this time the submarine’s Gin. gun (forward) and her 1.8-pounder (aft) were (rained on the lifeboat, also the quiekfrer, while seven of (he submarine crew stood with loaded revolvers. Presently the lientenant sent over to the lifeboat and removed from her the two breadtanks, together with the mast and sails, and also the two compasses, which, when they were handed to him, were smashed upon the deck of the submarine with such words as “Yon English swim l , why should you fire on a. German warship?” He (hen told the lifeboat’s crew to go. Soon, however, that officer called (he little craft hack once more, and out of six oars he look four, leaving the ship’s boat with only two oars, and that, too, at 120 miles from the nearest point of land. The submarine commander had not said a word during the whole of these proceedings. The lieutenant seemed to know English rather well. The captain of the little ship and his chief officer understood enough German to know what was being said by the enemy. The Gin, gun was trained on the lifeboat, as was also the 18-pound-er, while the lieutenant had his loaded revolver pointing straight at the crew. In high German the enemy officer significantly asked: “Shall 1 finish it?” The submarine commander, who had never left the conning-tower from start to finish, emphatically answered: “No, no.” PICKED EP BY A TRAWLER, Soon after the submarine sheered off and was evidently in a hurry to get out of sight. Before their departure the enemy lieutenant east a longing eye over the oilskin of the chief officer in the lifeboat, and, pointing at him with a loaded revolver, he said to the mate; “1 want that.’’ Rather than argue the point the mate quietly allowed his new coat to go. Nothing daunted, the ten inon in the frail lifeboat lost no time in setting out. They were now without compass, and had only a pair of oars. They had, however, a hag of biscuits weighing about Glib., which the lieutenant had apparently overlooked. For the,first 28 hours (lie weather was excellent —from a seaman’s point of view, inasmuch as there was only a westerly swell going, nnd the sun shone mostly. The captain and male took two-hour watches, and the remainder of the crew one hour at the oars in turn. About 12 miles were accomplished for each of two days. As the narrator remarked; “We wandered on as merchant, seamen do, and steered by (he sjm and westerly swell, as we had no other means of locating our direction after the lieutenant had smashed the compasses —what a kind gentleman he must have boon! However, after G2 hours we struck a trawler. Immediately we were seen all hands were called to (heir station on the trawler, whose crow evidently were suspicious, and her gun was (rained upon us. This doubtless was because we were then sailing along. It was some sail, too! It was made from (he covering of a lifebelt and a sack laced to it, together with an old shirt, with (ho sleeves tied, and two sheets leading will aft, laeed to (lie bottom hoard of the lifeboat, nailed to a boathook —which had been kindly left by the lieutenant. I don’t kno-w bis number, but the memory of that man’s face is indelibly marked on my mind, and it ever I meet him in days after the war he will go west — that’s sure.”
