A couple surged up the still river in the afternoon light and tied up b.;side their sisters. There climbed out of them three or four high-booted, sun- ken-eyed pirates clad in sweaters, un- der jackets that a stoker of the last generation would have disowned. This was their first chance to compare notes at close hand. Together they lamented the loss of a Zeppelinâ€"“a perfect mug of a Zepp.” who had come down very low and offered one of them a sitting shot. “But what can you do with three-pounders? I save him what I had and then he started bombing." There is a stretch of water once dear to amateur yachtsmen now given over to scouts, submarines, destroy- ers and. of course, a contingent of trawler-e. “Wu he the brute with the pttch on hi. port side?" a stator hon do~ mandod. “No. This fellow had just been botched. He wu almost sitting on the water. heaving bombs over.” “And my blasted Iteering gear chose then to go wrong," the other ceptaln mourned. “I thought his last egg wu going to get me!" “My steering gen Jammod Jun nt- tor I went under, mi I had to go round in circles till I got it tau-tighten- od out. But wasn't he a mug!" Half an hour later I was Earmally introduced to three or four quite strange. quite immaculat; omcers. treuhly shaved and a little tired about the eyes, whom I thought I had met They play hourly for each other’s lives with Death the umpire always at their elbow on tlptoe to give them “out." “I know no did," another said. “I hear! him. That's what brought me down to you. I thought he had you “No. I was forty feet under when he hove out the bi: ’un. What hap- pengd to yon?" Mealtime (it was on the hour of the evening drink) one of the hosts was still unaccounted for. No one talked of her. They rather discussed motor cars nnd Admlralty constructors but --lt felt rather like that queer twl- light hour at the front when the homâ€" lnx neroplanes drop in. Presently a slznsller entered: The commander’s is more a one- man job, as the crew's is more team work, than any other employment afloat. That is why the relations be- tween submarine officers and men are what they are. Like the destroyer the submarine has created its own type of officer and manmwith a language and tra- ditions apart from the rest of the service and yet at heart unchangly of the service. Their business is to run monstrous risks from earth, air and water in what to be of service, must be the coldest of cold blood. The submarine in her sphere st- tends to the enemy. Mine I remember was vermouth and bitten, and later on V-42 found a. soft chair and joined the committee of in- sanction. V42 outside, air; wants to know whlch channel she shall use." The chief business of the Auxiliary Fleet is to attend to commerce. Those next for duty. as well as (how in training, wanted to know what was going on and who had shifted what to where, and how cer- tain arrangements had worked. They were told in language not to be found in any printable book. uestlons and answers were alike [is row to one listener but he gather- ed that every boat carried a second in commandâ€"a strong perseverlng youth who seemed responsible for everything that went wrong from a motor cylinder to a torpedo.

Tell her to take (‘mmo ARTICLE) Again: “Came across a dhow with a Turkish skipper. He seemed so miserable that I let him go.’ And elsewhere in those wate's a submarine overhauled a steamer full of Turkish passengers, some of whom expecting their allies’ treatment at non-combatants promptly leaped over- board. Our boat ilshed them out and returned them in safety. In another affair which included several ships (now at the bottom) and one submarine, the commander re- laxes enough to note that: One came across jewels 0" price set in the flat omcial phraseology. For example. one man who was descrw- lug some steps he was taking to remedy certain defects, interjected casually: “At this point I had to go under {or a little as a man in a boat was trying to catch my periscope with his hand.” No reference before or after to the said man or his fate. One boat went down the Straits and to..nd herself rather canted over to one side. A mine had jammed under her forward diving-plane. As far as 1 made out, she shook of! by standing on her head and jerking backwards; or it may have been, for the thing has occurred more than once, she merely rose as much as she could when she could. and then “released it by hand" as the omeial phrase goes. 1 had spent the afternoon in look- ing through reports of submarine Work in the Sea of Marmora. They read like the diary of energetic Weazles in an owrcrowded chicken- run, and the results for each boat were tabulated son'nething like a sport- ing score. “The men behaved very well under direct and flanking fire from rules at about fifteen yards." This was rot, I believe, the submarine that fought the l‘urklsh cavalry on the beach. And in addition to matters much more marvellous than any I have hinted at, the reports dealt with re- pairs and shifts and contrivances car- ried through in the face of dangers that read ltke the last delirium of romance. And who, a few months ago, could have invented, or, having invented. would have dared to print sucn a nightmare as this: “There was a boat in the North Sea that ran into a net and was caught by the nose. She rose. still entangled, meaning to cut the thing away on the surface. But a Zeppelin in wait- lng saw and bombed her, and she had to go down agaln at onceâ€"but not too swiftly or she would get herself more wrapped up than ever. The "common sweeper" growling are." his mug of tea that there in “nothing in sweepin’” and these idly inning men, new shaved and attired from the gates of death which had let them through for the fiftieth time. were all of the same fabricâ€"incom- prehensible.

Azzd the stuff hed good throughout all im- world-â€"i’rom the Dardanelles to the “aide where only a little while ago unmlwr latch or submarines had slipped thrown: and begun to be busy. She went down and by slow work- ing and weaving and wriggling guid~ ed only by guesses at the meaning of each scrape and grind of the net on her blind forehead, u lest she drew clear. Then she sat on the. thought The question we: whether she should go back at once and warn her contederates against the trap, or wait till the destroyer: whloh she knew the Zeppelin would have six- nolled for, should come to nnleh her. atlll entangled as they would euppose tn the net? Within a few minutes of the time she had allowed for them, she heard the twitter of tour destroyers’ screws thrashing above her; rose; got her hot in; saw one destroyer crumple; un‘ round till another took the wreck in tow; said good-bye to the “are brace (she was at the end at r supplies) and reached the ren- desvons in time to save her irienr‘s. And since we are dealing in night- mares. here are two moreâ€"one gent» Inkthe other, mercifully. false. ere was a British submarine, not at, but in the month of a river-- htme in German territory.

It was a simple calculation of com- putative speeds and positions, and when it was worked out she decided to try for, the double event. “Strare all Admiralty constructors to begin with.

He said It was a very refreshing sight. . _-_IL‘_ -â€"- 'â€"â€"r_ It was necessary for him to sit on the bottom awhile, and there he playâ€" ed patience. Of a sudden it struck him, as a vow and an omen. th... it he worked out the next game correctly he would go up and strafe something. The cards fell all in order. He went up and found himself alongside a Ger- man. whom as he had promised and prophesied to himself he destroyed. -â€"â€"- -...a nann‘na III V‘I‘valvw vv --_ She was a mine-layer and needed only a jar to dissipate like a cracked electric light bulb. He was some- what impressed by the contrast be- tween the single-handed game fifty feet below, the ascent, the attack, the amazing result, and when he descend- ed again his cards lay just as he had left them. Several things give away the posi- tion of a big gun when it is fired. the two chief being the noise and the smoke. Thanks to smokeless powder. however, the latter has practically been done away with. A silencer which the French are using is so ef- fective that no sound of firing can be heard over a greater distance than a hundred yards or so. The silencer is attached to the muzzle of the gun. As the shell leaves the gun a small shut- ter springs up and prevents the ex- plosive gases escaping in the usual way. It is the sudden, fierce rush 0! gas which causes the “hang!” when a gun is fired. The gas passes out through the two channelt with nothing like the rush that is caused in the or- dinary way. There is a diverting story of how the British censor got John Lane, the famous publisher, out of his bed at an early hour in the morning to ex- plain the significance of a certain cable. This cable, addressed to a Mr. Lane's New York house. read: “Make Brooke page uniform with English ob- viating broken lines ordering portrait accordingly.” The unsuspicious would doubtless have fashioned the message as referring to a technical matter con- nected with the American edition of the poems of Rupert Brooke. the tal- ented young poet who succumbed to sunstroke in the Dardanelles. But, of course, in the Censor's Department. that phrase “broken lines" did have I. nasty sound! At an exposition held in Canada recently, a demonstrator how to make fireproof clothing. He poured from one pound to a gallon of cold water In a solution of ammonium phosphate. Then he took an 8-inch strip of ordin- ary cotton gauze and dipped it in the ammonium phosphate solution. Ho dried it with an electric fan and held it in a flame for thirty seconds, but it did not..burn. He took another strip of gauze that had not been treat- ed with the solution, and on igniting it burned in four seconds. He ad- vised that the whole family washing should be made fireproof. The ex- pense for an average sized family Would he about 15 cents a week. qu " V. -'â€" About that bad hour of 2.30 am the commander was waked by one of the men who whispered to him. “They've got the chains on us, sir!” Whether it was pure nightmare, or an hallucination of long wakefulness, or something relax ng or releasing in that packed box of machinery, or the disguettul reality, the (0mm ider could not tell, but it had all the mak- ings ot panic in it. So the Lord and long training put it into be head to reply: A "C Q. m-A _‘--_" L- vzfiéve they? Well, we shan’t be coming up till nine o’clock this morn- lng. We’ll see about it then.

A boat had gone to bed on the bottom in a spot where she might reasonably expect to be looked for, but it was a con- venient jumping off, or up, p‘°ce tor the work in hand. “- 41-- The militia department cites tho rates of pay for the soldiers of Euro- pean ((H.i.:l;'ies to show that the Can- adian; soldier is well paid.

Then the com- mander heard the rasp ot a wire trawl sweeping over his hull. It was not a nice sound, but there happened to be a couple of gramophones aboard and he turned them both on to drown it.
