Elders calmly carried coffee and food to the gunners during the battle.
As he did this job, certain that sooner or later the Herons- pool would be hit by the sub- marine, Elders whistled as hap- pily as a London errand boy.
"The U-bont sent a morse mesunge for us to stop. We replied with a shot and kept on moving," he said.
The submarine eventually came so close that it seemed as though we were looking right into the gun's mouth. We went on firing..

From Occan Bottom To search for the radium the expedition will use a "deep-sea gun," which can fred on the bottom of the ocean as far as six miles down. The gun is lowered the bottom on a cable, and is fired automatically. The explosion drives a hollow metat tube deep into the ocean floor.
