After this notable success a few days of purely routine patrol follow- ed.

Then came the Bremen episode- and this is the first full true story.

Bremen-The True

Story

In the Arst light of day as the Salmon lay on the surface, an enemy aircraft appeared, causing her to dive immediately.

About an hour later the engines of the a large ship were heard on hydrophones. The submarine poked her periscope to the surface, and there, steaming past at a good rate,, was the Bremen, pride of the German mercantile marine..

Her course took her so close to the submarine that had Commander Bickford decided to fire a torpedo she presented a target he could not have missed.

The Bremen look no notice. Commander Bickford at once gave the order to load in order that a thot could be fired across the bows of the Bremen

Not until this had been done and

this second warning ignored by the Bremen could the Salmon legally take offensive action.

The warning shot was never fired. German aircraft appeared overhead and the Salmon had to dive.

In spite of this she could early have fired six torpedoes into the Bre- men as she dived. But the dictates of international law could not be complied with. So the Bremen went home unharmed.

Less than 24 hours later the Sal- mon was cruising just below the sur- face when the two German battle cruisers, Scharnhorst and Gheisenau, and one of the pocket battleships, ac“ companied by three cruisers, were observed through the periscope.

Two of the cruisers were the new 8-inch gun ships Hipper and Blucher, while the ono funnel and conspicuous aircraft crane of the third identified her as the Leipzig.

A few minutes later they were within rango. The Salmori fred six torpedocs on slightly different courses, thus hoping to disable more than one ship.
