There were P-hoats and Q-ships. Submarines in the early days were called E-boats, but as our inventors progressed other letters of the alphabet came into use. and in the last few days one of the closely- guarded secrets of the trade, the K- boats, have been publicly described.

On the first evening after they had rehearsed their parts the look-out on the conning tower reported a rowing- boat approaching. It was quite early in the evening, but apparently the \ raiders meant to make a night of it. So the crews of the K-boats went to ! their stations. All hatches were closed. They waited. The senior of- \ fleer of the flotilla heard someone scramble from the rowing-boat on to : the iron plates of the submarine's deck. He gave the order "Divel" Down went the submarine about six ' feet, stopped there a minute or two, I and came up. The hatches were open- j ed, and the delighted Kboat men ! tumbled up, roaring with laughter as ! they fished their ducked visitors out I of "the ditch." | And then they discovered that it was a four-stripe captain, a very j senior and important ofllcer, who had 1 come to pay them an official visit. More grim was the adventure of an- ' other of the tribe which also tried a I stunt that was not provided for in the ] Regulations. The skipper, while on patrol in a certain area. Intercepted a signal that an enemy submarine was operating not tar away, but in waters that were outside the K-boafs beat. The chance was too good to be missed, and the captain pushed oft in the direction of the enemy, only to be mistaken by our surface craft for the enemy when he got there. He promptly dived to avoid the gun- fire that concentrated on him, and found himself In a worse plight still, for our surface ships put down a heavy barrage of depth-charges, the under- water bombs that carried 500 pounds of explosive, and were destructive If they exploded 75 feet away from the target. Taking Notes About Death. Fortunately for the K-boat, the skipper had followed a zigzag course as he dived, and the depth-charges ex- ploded some distance away. Our sur- face craft, however, stuck to their prey. As the depth-charges seemed to produce no result, they put down sweeps, long hawsers that trailed along the bed of the ocean until they caught, the obstruction being the sub- marine. And they found Uim. Then, down the sweep "-â- Vnd what about your boiler room?"
