A faint distant blur nurked the coastline; ahead the line of periscopes forged through the water in stately procession, Not so bad this, after all.

Many people are eager to fly: not 30 many are enthusiastic about travelling undor the een. My feel- ings were decidedly mixed, there. fore, when 1, with other members of the Royal Blankshires, read my name under this order:

Next morning found us stepping across the planks to our allotted sub- marines, with the air of the doomed. The knowledge that the crew of the purent ship was to entertain
us when we returned only reminded us that the thought of ever returning seemed lost in a dim, improbable future.

We should enjoy the promised entertainment after this invigorat ing little cruise, proud to boast that we had travelled in a submarine! We waxed quite cheerfully talka- tive.
"All Below,"
Then a strange flag fluttered up the mast of the leading submarine. "Going to dive now," said a cheerful voice at my elbow. "All below; close hatches!"

We clambered down the perpendi. cular iron ladder, knocking our selves, all unheeding against olly handles and wheels. "dentist's chair" feeling, a thou. annd times accentuated, was upon us. The steel hatch above us closed with a décisive snap; the daylight was gone; this was the end.
We stood crowded together in a kind of narrow steel passage. Walls and ceiling bristled with queer ap- pliances, wheels, handles and clock diala. With every move one found painful contact with something oily. The atmosphere was that of a hot, well-blended mixture of oil and Determined-looking cooking food.

a matter of fact, I believe the sea mud down here is a bit sticky."
A jar; the roaring suddenly ceas- ed; we found ourselves in darkness. "Stand to emergency stations," shouted a firm, clear voice. The motionless arrow of the depth dial pointed to forty fathoms. -
"Shall we rise now ́” I asked, my voice as calm as possible.
"What on earth for?” came from the darkness; "we are now travel- ling on a straight course at forty fathoms; that roaring only occure when we dive.”
"But the lights—” I.began. "Oh, we often do that for practice in this case for your benefit." "Thanks, we have appreciated it," I-said.
