HUNTED U-BOATS.
German bulletins dealing with submarine warfare have latterly unwittingly testified to the anxious and harassed life the crews live, says an Amsterdam message. According to the latest semi-official bulletin, a U-boat which returned a few days ago reports that one day she was pursued by two aeroplanes in the English Channel from noon to evening and pelted with 23 water bombs. A few days later the same submarine, in the Irish Sea, was hunted by several destroyers, which within a few minutes discharged 31 water bombs. In this instance Berlin is able to report no damage done but does not say how many' boats have had similar experiences with a different sequel.
