And then the submarine appeared, Without warning she shelled the fish- ing boat. At least 20 shots were fired. The Cresswell began to sink.

Her lifeboat was smashed-useless. The U-boat submerged. The Cress- well's crew were to learn later that she had gone to find a ship which would take them aboard.

From this point the story is told by William Faussett, the mate, one of the survivors:

"I saw George Andrews, the bo'sun, jump overboard with a lifebelt. We never saw him again.

"Ten of us threw the raft into the water and hung on to it. We were all crushed together.

"The raft was tossed about. It was a hard job holding on. At times it went under.

Then, one by one, the numbed men began to loose their hold on the raft.

"Tem Gately, a fireman, was the first to go. The others took it in turn to help me keep his head above water. "Our legs were numbed and our armis ached. Sheer exhaustion made us let go. He disappeared into the

CHAINED TO BED BY BACKACHE

Now Thanks to Kruschen-

Not a Trace of Pain.

This woman's life was made EL misery by the nagging pains of back- ache. Then her father, who had proved the value of Kruschen himself, advised her to to try it. She did, and here is her grateful letter:-

"For years I have been suffering with pains in the back. At times I had to stay in bed for days. I could not walk, or even stand. My father was using Kruschen Salts for the same thing. He, too, used to suffer badly, and Kruschen saved him. He advised me to try it. I did so, and did not get a pain for three years. I then neglect- ed my daily dose for about six months, and two months ago the pain returned. I tried another remedy-it failed, so I again started Kruschen. Now I have not a trace of pain, thanks to Krus- chen." (Mrs.) H.R.

Pains in the back are usually due to poisons in the blood-waste products which tired kidneys are failing to fil- ter from the system. The six salts in Kruschen coax your kidneys back to healthy, normal action, so that not a particle of poisonous waste matter re- mains unexpelled.

"Then Larter (a deck hand) fell off. We never saw him again.

"In the distance we could see Killey, the chief engineer, and Fred Kirby-he was a deck-hand, but he held a mate's ticket. They were hang- ing on to an upturned boat.

"We never saw them go down, but at the end of an hour they had dis- appeared." "

Among the men who fought death on that tiny raft was Fred Lee, a lad of 16, on his fifth fishing trip.

It was after they had been on the raft for nearly two and a half hours that the U-boat reappeared and took the seven exhausted men aboard.

They were given clothing and hot drinks, and finally, after seven hours

during which time the submarine again shelled and sank the water- logged Cresswell— the Fleetwood trawler Phyllisia was sighted.

The U-boat stopped her and trans- ferred them.
