AT A U-BOAT'S TOMB.

Sunrise and a cheary call brought me on deck. For part of the "dark hours! throughout which the drifter had main- tained her navar-consing patrol of s stretch of saa where according to the skippar, "you never know what'll hap pon, I had kept a "watch below" well rocked but quita cosy. If you stayed awake on drifter patrol while danger threatened you would never sleep at all. For danger is your, constant shipmate in one form or another.

Would you like to see the grave of U-boat?" asked the skipper,

"Certainly."

"Right 01" The wheel span reupd, and the drifter, turning to port, tumbled over the ware crests one after another unfit the resched a patch of strangely calm water.

The oil causes that," explained the skipper. "Watch, and you'll see it! ecming up."

Leaning over the drifter's side, I could discern patches of oil rising all around. They came up in quito" tiny points, which made big, mang-hoed circles as they spread widely after

reaching the surface.

"She lies there," said the skipper. "Oil's been coming up 1ks that for weekat Ste must have been shockful of it!"

"How did you got her?"

Depth-charges." And then came

the story:

A U-boat, newly commissioned and just starting upon a voyage of piracy, had tried to steal past our drifter sentinel in the darkness. But the keen, naver-closing eve of the aoight watch picked her up." Out went the call, and in response to it the hunters encircled their quarry.

Vainly she tried to escape thom by diving and doubling. Big cylinders Elled with deadly explosive dropped from their decks, torturing the water into a boiling fury an every hand. This continued until the bunters were certain that they had madu a "kill".

"Have you got any others "I asked,

Yes: there's quite-lying bore- about," replied the skipper, indicating with his hand a narrow stretch of sea. It would bring uo consolation to the soul of the Kaiser to learn the cumber mentioned though it was big enough to be a Bine testimonial to the efficiency of our anti-submarine flotillas.

opposed the American doctrine of the free- doin of the sens and they still do. Prussia, which was the first of the foreign. Towors

to accept it, has been in the Great War tho most rathless violater bf it and we cannot trust her present profession of it. Pre- sident Wilson's polite but plain spoken remonstrances at the beginning of the war gainst British intarfe:önce with the fres- dom of trade and nigstion without even the pretense of a blockade had no effect, and since our sympathy was wholly with the ease of the Allies we had no disposition to lasiat upon our technical rights. -Bit when Germany began her barbaric warfare upon the high ass we prompily entered tha conflict al brought Garmsuy to her ks.
