Although their bomber caught fire over Cologne when a shell splinter hit a fare and explosions blew a 10ft hole in the fuselage. the crew stayed to bomb their target-a railway goods yard--- and struggled home against an 80-mile-an-hour gale.

I found myself at sea in a motor torpedo-boat, which is the smallest of our men- of-war.

arma-

She was 70 feet long, carried two torpedo tubes, some depth charges, and an anti-aircraft ment

The complement consisted of two officers and eight ratings. The battleship carried 1,600, and it was interesting to reflect that by a combina- tion of circumstances, it might be possible for one of these 70-foot hornets to. disable and even sink a 35,000-ton battleship.

In outline, these boats resemble a flat-iron, and economy in space, which is of course, a feature of all ships, is carried to a fine art in a motor torpedo- boat. The living spaces for both officers and men are in the fore part of the boat; the crew. occupy one compartment out of which opens the tiny galley, while the captain and his -navigator, usually-a-lieu tenant and a sub-lieuten- ant, R.N.V.R., occupy an- ather.

There is folding bunk ac- commodation for all, and they can when necessary live on board for considerable periods, although when their bases crews of boats not at short notice live in parent ships or ashore.

There are times when they must need a good deal of com- forting. When the boat is running on her main engines the roar of the exhaust makes conversation impossible: In any seaway the water drives over her in a continuous sheet as she bounces from

one Life wave-top to the next. on board under these condi- tions is one long shower-bath.

The captain and coxswain stand on a thick soft rubber

pad which absorbs some of the

shock as the boat strikes each successive sca. The rest of the crew, wherever they hap- pen to be, just keep their knees bent and hold on to whatever is handy; there must be moments when they won- der whether the next jolt won't knock their backbones through the tops of their heads..

I found myself on board one of these craft late one after- noon, one of several moored alongside a jetty, and, the crews were sitting about the decks basking in the aun. Some lay out-stretched with their gas-masks for pillows, asleep.

But even in this hour of re- laxation one or two of the gunners were fiddling with the mechanism of their gune with a brush and a tin of oil. One man was putting a touch of paint on one of the torpedo tubes where a wire had chafed it. While he worked he sang softly to himself,

Some hours later the still- ness of the harbour was broken by the roar of the high-power engines as they began warning through. There were a few brief or- ders: one by one the boats glided seaward, the noise in- creased as they gathered speed, and presently there was nothing round us but the roaring darkness and the fur- row of our wake pale in the starlight.

After some hours the sound of 'the engines dropped abruptly to a soft purring note. The night was very calm. A while later, the na- vigator emerged from the con- ning tower door. He glanced at the dimly-lit binnacle, mur- mured something and pointed through the darkness. The boat reduced speed till she barely carried steerage way. The reflections of the stars swayed and danced in the broad wave that curved back from our bows.

I could see it then, a dark object, fine_on_the_port_bow. "That's it," said the captain. The outline of a buoy loomed up and slid past us. "That's two miles from the enemy coast.",eaid the navigator. In the comparative stillness the sound of aircraft passing overhead was plainly audible.
