JACK TAR AND THE "TINFISH." Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, January 18. A seaman aboard a destroyer writes: "Our job is patrolling the coast. One dark night, when the water was a bit choppy, no one was allowed to turn into bis hammock. In the middle watch the look-out sighted a red light, then'’ a second, and a third. We steamed close to the first light, and the searchlight revealed a submarine, which immediately dived, the others disappearing simultaneously. The submarines bad mistaken us for their own supply ship. Wo cruised about, hoping to ram one, and every minute expecting a "tinfish” against the side. Fortunately they failed to torpedo us, and were not again seen.”
