Merchant maval officers aren‘t accustomed to steaming in close order, and being drilled more or less, by flng signals and winking motse lamps. But after Our convoy steamed along with their Commodore in charge, while we acted the part of a watchdog and made flag signals â€" "Speed soâ€"andâ€" so.

Our depth charges were also ready for letting go at a moment‘s notice, and twice we did let one day on getting what is known as a ‘contact‘. It might have been a submarine; but wasn‘t. I can‘t be too explicit as to what we did, or where we went. But leavâ€" ing one port and arriving at another we picked up our convoy and esâ€" corted it for about three days. Our weather was variable. We had a good deal of fog and some rain, and a stiff easterly breeze which superâ€" imposed a little breaking sea on top of a heavy smell and made the ship kick about quite a lot. I spoke to all and sundry and sundry and never heard a grumble. I don‘t pretend they all loved comâ€" ing to sea again, and in a small ship at that; but they were a cheery lot and were thinking of starting a band, if someone could scrounge a drum and a few tin whistles. Anyâ€" how, I remember being on the bridge in the cold and chilly dawn out in the Atlantic, with the ship butting into a heavy westerly swell and everything rather cold and wet, and a rather raucous voice drifting up a voicepipe from the wheelhouse â€""Why does my heart go boom?"

HOW ABOUT THE HOUSE OF REFUGE? "NAVAL EYE WITNESS" Out With The Destroyer Patrol By OUTBREAK OF HOG CHOLERA FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1940 But there is no doubt that the convoy system is an outstanding sucâ€" cess, a success which is largely due to the close coâ€"operation between the two Sea Services and the Royal Air Force, the endurance, grit and supreme skill of our seamen, and to the _ organization â€" which directs them. Having seen their work, I can give full marks to the officers and men of the Merchant Navy who are carrying the food and supplies upon which we depend. But having also been at sea in one of the convoying destroyers, I can‘t help saying that their job is the toughest that can be imagined. They don‘t have the excitement of meeting Uâ€"boats every time they go to sem. More often than not it means day after day of discomfort in vile weather. _ Sometimes the ship will get out of step with the seas and take a whopper clean over the bows. A boiling cataract will come roaring over the forecastle, to go sweeping aft past the bridge structure and down on to the upper deck in two cascading waterfalls.

In recent weeks . . . the Nazi Government itself appears to have been encouraging religion in the army. At least, authorities have not interâ€" fered with efforts made in that direction by the military command. This change of attitude is said to have been forced on the Government by the High Command as a safeguard against demoralâ€" ization of the army. Thus even a war that has come to pass partly because of attempts to stamp out reliâ€" gion, presses on men and on governments deâ€" mands whose fulfillment causes them to turn back to religion. War, as Mrs. McCormick puts it, "is not only a national ordeal but a personal crisis for everyone involved." Were this not so, did not the element of personal crisis force individuals to seek "something above and beâ€" yond the battle they are forced to fight," we can imagine that war might easily have anniâ€" hilated human kind by now. _ â€" â€" Kitchener‘s chief magistrate, J A number of aeroplanes were obâ€" Jnrvod at sea and heavy explosions ‘at sea were heard on Norway‘s aoutheast conast OSLO (Monday) â€" Fighting beâ€" tween British and German ships in the North Sea in which at least nine men were killed and several vessels were reported sunk was disclosed toâ€" day as Norwegian fishing schooners reached port with the bodies of vicâ€" tims and survivors.
