PAGET SINKS A GERMAN CRUISER AND IDA KENNEDY
ENTERS THE STORY.
Naval Lieutenant Donald Paget, Just given commund of a sub
marine, "meets nt Wuxhlngton on old friend nnd distinguished though
somewhat eccentric scientist, Captain Mnstermnn. Mnstermnn has Just
returned from an exploring expedition, bringing with him a member of
the strange race, the existence of whose species, he asserts, menaces
the human family. At the club, the "March Hares," Musterman ex
plains his theory to Paget. The recital Is Interrupted by the arrival of
a lifelong enemy of Mnsterinun, lru Mucllcnrd, and the former Is
seized with n fatal paralytic stroke. From Masterman'g body Paget
secures documents bearing upon the discovery nnd proceeds to the
home of the scientist. Paget proceeds to sea on his submarine, the
F53, nnd encounters a German cruiser.
CHAPTER IV Continued.

At first the hum of the electric mo
tors domlnuted all other sounds, but
Gradually It became blended with a
medley of noises. Placing his ear n
moment ngnlnst the plating of the
hull, Donald could hear n steady
Hiotigh faint pounding, which came, nl
from within, but from the bearings of
the distant warship, transmitted un
der water. Somewhere, too, Donald
fancied that a destroyer wns speed
ing toward them, for there was a
(Mint nnd almost Imperceptible whir
ling, ns of high-speed machinery.
Mixed with the throb of the screws
there enme the sound of their suction.
At times the seas, breaking over the
periscope, obscured his vision. Some
times, too, the cruiser shifted outside
her nrc; then the periscope motor
started anew, nnd slowly she would
awtug back, growing more discernible.
Below, the men, who understood
that nn enemy ship wns near, waited
la suppressed excitement.
"We'll have to try her nt a mile,
Clouts," said Donald to the lookout.
He carried only three torpedoes. Ho
would have liked to close In and make
sure of his prey, but a shot nt almost
the extreme range seemed preferable
to hazarding the vessel nnd the lives
f his crew.
; "Aye, sir!" answered Sam Clouts.
Clonfs was n man of ubout forty
years, hook-nosed, with bland, humor
ous blue eyes, and a square Jaw under
square, bristling bcurd. When, oft
duty he wns perpetually plnplng a
mouth-organ, nnd Donald could not
.help smiling to sec his hand stealing
covetously toward his pocket even
now.
The German could hardly have been
more than a mile nwny when she sud
denly changed her course to westward
Donald hud been approaching her head
on. with the object of maneuvering,
when within striking distance, to soad
a torpedo amidships. The new course
of the vessel was n bitter disappoint
ment to him.
Donald realized that she was near
lug the Shetland nnd endeavoring to
make the passage between mainland
and Fair island. That was the most
hazardous part of her Joruney. Once
beyond the straits, she would bo free
In the open Atlantic.
He gave the order to rise. The
tanks were blown, the rudders and
diving planes adjusted; the F"i5 be
gan to mount upward. A green trans
lucency appeared. The electric lights
went out. The hatches were opened.
A gust of fresh ulr drove the stale
atmosphere nwny. The petrol Rioters
took up the task of the electric ones.
Donald ordered full speed. The ves
sel drove high through the waves,
achieving 12 knots.
A shndow edged the misty horizon.
It was Sumburgh head, the extreme
southerly point of the Shetland Here
the cruiser wns due to turn.
"Smoke to port, sir l" suld Clouts.
The German had evidently seen It
at the snme time, for her speed began
to diminish. This meant that she wax
steering cautiously to gain the shelter
of Sumburgh, behind which she might
lie unobserved for observation.
If It was nn English battle cruiser
thut wns nppronchlng, the ship would
be hard put to It to escape. It
was not likely that the oncoming ship
hod sighted her smoke through the In
creasing haze.
Donald drove hnrd for the main
channel. He knew that he could catch
the German now, and ho wns ready to
tako chances of discovery. Meanwhile,
Inch by Inch, the stranger came up out
of the sea.
At' first Dowuld believed she was a
British battle cruiser. This hope was
soon dispelled, however, when her fuu
nels showed three black stacks, ringed
with white, the color of the Claude
Une, nnd the heavy hull, built for
freight, not speed.
Ills henrt begun to thump heavily.
For the Beotla was one of the Claude
line's ships, nnd thq approaching ves
sel looked very much like the overdue
Beotin.
And Ida was aboard her, nnd al
ready well within range of the eno
. my's guns I The two ships had sighted
each other. Donald saw the Beotla
diminish to a thread line ns she turned
and ran, prow ou, toward the Orkneys.
A spurt of flame broke from the Ger
man's bow. A coll of cloud followed
1L A few seconds later the boom of
the discharge echoed across the water,
and a pillar of spray shot up near the
Beotla's bow. The battleship turned
toward her prey.
. And Donald's chance had come.
The Beotla had no Intention of sur
rendering. The German, following
her, perceived the lurking danger, nnd
at once bis guns were trained on the
submarine.
The F53 dipped r.t the bow. A shell
hooted over ber, and a second, falling
shorter, deluged the submersible with
r. But tv9 FC5 ytat stern down
and sinking. Her periscope shot
through the waves, the only target,
and In the conning tower Donald sat
wfth his eyes fast on the mirror.
Ten feet below the surface the F55
plunged on toward the monarch of the
sen.
The sound of the guns wns vastly
louder under the waves. A Rlngle shot,
sent home, would smash through the
thin plates ns If they were of pnper.
But Donuld knew that It wns the su
preme moment when danger must be
Ignored. ' Ho seemed to sense the ship,
the crew, ns a single entity, devoted
to a single purpose. He aimed his
bow directly Into his enemy's port
(lank. Se was less than a mile awny.
At that distance It seemed a miracle
that her shells failed to strike home.
Down In the torpedo room three
men birc a torpedo from the rack and
placed It In the slings. They swung
It forward Into the breech of the tube.
One man nt the pump rapidly filled-the
breech chumber with the compressed
air that was to send the missile upon
Its course.
Donald, In the conning tower, still
held the cruiser within the mirror. He
saw the smoke coll from her guns, he
heard their dull reverberation, nnd
knew that nt any moment the blinded
F05 might be scut staggering to her
death through the wake of her wash.
But ho was nnlmated by the single
minded purpose which Inspired ull nnd
made the steel and human mechanism
u bolt forged for death.
Clouts, nt the wheel, did not allow
the littlo craft to deviate a hair's
breadth from her course.
"Stund by !"
The hiss of the oxygen apparatus
dominated nil other sounds. At her
45-knot speed the missile left the
launching tube with a heavy thud, and
the ship quivered ns she shook herself
free.
And Donnld knew thnt his shot had
gone home.
The whir grew less, but nil listened
until the end of the mile-long Journey.
On bourd the enemy ship everyone
could see the air bubbles that came up
from the speeding missile nnd Its
white, foaming wake. There was no
time to maneuver the giant ship. They
There Was a Woman Aboard and a
Man Pulling Wildly at One Oar.
prayed they could do no more that
the torpedo might not have been shot
true; that It might deviate from Its
Imminent path.
It came on Inexorably. The firing
became wilder. The gunners, ab
sorbed ns they were In their , task,
seemed permeated with the contnglous
terror caused by that white, rippling
pencil lino thnt was extending towurd
their ship.
The missile struck the battle cruiser
amidships, blowing out a section of
her hull, a single water-tight compart
ment. The cruiser hardly staggered
from the blow.
Tho torpedo had struck glancing,
and missed the full force of Its deliv
ery. The wound was In Itself too
small to sink or even badly cripple the
great ship ; a triumph of shipbuilding,
aad calculated to withstand Just such
ut Impact.
fjnfortunately for her, the maximum
of the shock was received beneath the
powder room, ndjacent to the ammu
nition chnmber, whose doors were
open at that moment for the removal
of the 12-luch shells by the ammuni
tion hoist.
The shock wns followed by an Infi
nite suspense. Perhaps It lasted for
two seconds. The cruiser drove
through the waves like some sea mon
ster that had received a deadly thrust
unscathed. i
Then, with a detonation that was
heard from Sumburgh to Sutherland,
she went sky-high In tumbling ruin.
Donald, within the conning tower, saw
a blur frost the rolrror of the periscope.
Another second passed. Then the
F05 went reeling under the terrific
force of the . explosion. She spun
round under tho waves nnd thrilled ns
If she herself fuced disruption.
The bilge-pumps clenred her diving
tanks. She rose, nose upward, scent
ing the nlr; her stern followed, nnd
she lay nwash in the water once more.
The hatches were removed.
Not n vestige of the cruiser wns to
be seen. She hud sunk In less than
three minutes.
But hnrd by, not three-quarters of
n mile to port, a pillar of smoke, lit
up by flame, curled out of the Beotla's
hatches. Deeming her the submarine's
decoy, the cruiser's gunners had rid
dled her with shells from the two 12
Inch guns at the bow. '
She seemed to stagger through the
smoke that wreathed her. She was
dying by fire nnd water, too, nnd the
twin elements, In their eternal conflict,
recked nothing of her human freight.
And Ida was there Ida, doomed to
perish, If sh were not already dead,
unless help speedily camel
Donnld took the helm.- The F55
rushed through the waves In the di
rection of the Clnude liner, which list
ed hnrd to starboard. Two bunts hnd
nlrendy been launched, and bobbed
ridiculously beside her; others re
mained high up In the air, Impotent,
because the list prevented their being
lowered, nnd dashed themselves to
pieces against the hull as they swung
from the shattered davits.
As tho K55 drew near the ocean
seemed to open. Silently, softly, tho
convexity of the hull slipped down nnd
was lost to view ns the sun's edge
goes Into the horizon. A' swirl nnd
eddy In the sen, nnd nothing remained
except the two boats nnd some tiny,
doll-like figures that bobbed In tho
water.
A gasp of horror went up from the
thronts of the seamen, clustered upon
the deck of the F55, as the swirl
sucked down the boat thnt wns the
nenrer to the ninelstrom of the wreck.
It sucked down with nil Its living
freight, nnd spewed It forth Into the
nlr ngaln, end on empty.
The engines stopped. The subma
rine glided In. The single boat
seemed empty. Not Thero was n
woman nboard, and a man pulling
wildly upon one oar.
Donald took In tho sltuntlon Instnnt
ly. He turned to his nld, Dnvles, a
little, keen-faced middy who wns mak
ing his first voyage In command of
men.
"Tow us, or run for Fair Islnnd!"
he cried. Then, flinging oil his coat,
he leaped.
A few strokes carried him to the
whirling bont. And now he renllrd
that he hnd known nil nlong thnt tho
girl In it wiy Idn, miraculously saved
out of the great company of those who
had died. His heart beat a penn of
Joy ; nt the sight of her his love awak
ened, nnd he knew thnt this wns no
transient passion, but nn enduring one.
But Just ns he renched the bout ho
saw the sailor nt the oar 'stagger blind
ly toward the edge. It seemed ns If he
were being dragged overboard ngnlnst
his will! He whirled his arms nnd
plunged Into the deep with a honrse
cry that rang out fur above the waters.

PRISONERS WENT ON STRIKE
Refused to Go Back to Jail Until One
of Their Number Was "Fired" by
Workhouse Superintendent
Perhaps the queerest strike on rec
ord wns thnt of workhouse prisoners
In Delaware county, Indiana, recently,
when they refused to return to Jail un
less one of their number received his
freedom. And It wns not that they de
sired him to be free, either, but be
cause they wished to be freed of his
presence.
"I had my gang of prisoners way out
by Yorktown, working on a country
road that needed repairing," said
Jumes Cole, workhouse superintendent,
according 'to the Indianapolis News,
"when I noticed, about time to load
them Into the automobile apd bring
them back," that the prisoners were
hanging bock nnd talking nmong them
selves. Finally one of them came to
me with the story mud his demands.
"'The boys here won't go back to
Jail with you unless you fire Dunny,
there,' said the spokesman. 'They won't
ride back In the machine with htm be
cause he has vermin In his hnlr nnd
on lils body. You either let him go or
no more Jail for us. . We've ngreed to
mnke a run for It If you don't, and
you enn't cntch nil of us.'
"Of course, I hnd no right to allow
the man his freedom," Cole continued,
"but the fellow Jumped up and ran
nwny Just then nnd I'm bound to admit
we didn't try very hnrd to cntch him.
Anyway, thnt broke the Btrlke."

to Insure triumph, then, wish nothing

REHEARSE FOR BIG BATTLES
Realism Carried to the Extreme by
Germans In Preparing for Trial of
New Strategy Says Human
Strength Is Powerless.
With the French Armies. It Is now
pretty well known that both the
French and Germans frequently re
'jearse their buttles, under conditions
is realistic as possible on speciully
prepured maneuver grounds. But
whereas the French on these occasions
lake great care that no men shall be
Injured, the Germans have carried
realism to such a point that ench exer
cise of this kind costs them a number
it wounded. The fact is nttested by
Ihe following extract from the note
book of a German of the 218th regi
ment of Infuntry:
"The exercise was to represent a
new method of attack used by the
French, nnd was to take place on the
21st, in the presence of the duke of
VVuerttemberg, nnd other personages.
"Ou the 17th our artillery regulated
Its fire preparatory to the exercise.
Men Wounded in Drill.
"On the 21st we were put In place
st 8:15 a. 111. From 0:30 to 10:30 the
artillery nnd the trench mortars fired.
We were given each fifty explosive
cartridges, while the men of the first
nnd second waves were given each,
respectively, six nnd two loaded gren
ndes. From the start, during the fir
ing of the trench mortars, men were
wounded by splinters. At 10:30 the
business begun, and toward 1 :30 p. m.
nur companies were assembled for the
goose step parade on the Hoehwnlsch
Walderystal road. This parade also
tool; place before the duke of Wuert
temberg. The exercise, It appears,
satisfied these gentlemen entirely. So
It will not be long. now before we en
ter Into the hell. Uuhapplly, several
men were wounded, one seriously. It
Is really sad to see exercise of this
kind carried out with real artillery
nnd trench mortars. Aside from the
fact that It costs n great deal of
money, men ure wounded almost regu
larly. So it is not enough that we
should risk our lives when we ore nt
the front, we must even he exposed
to danger when we are supposed to
be at rest."

notebook of a German captured lately
at Hill 304, near Verdun :
"Yesterday Just after midnight' we
went up to the first line. The march
wns terrible. We were shelled, from
every side and the night was black.
We got lost and had to wander two
and n half hours In the open. After
dlfllculty of every description we
finally reached our shelter. And what

were half enved In. I hope the shells

on divine nld ; human strength Is pow

got up. In spite of the violent bom
bardment of shells and torpedoes I
succeeded In getting more or less
sleep. But we have gone without eat

"Thou hast been waiting a long time

The result of the destroyer activity

not only a decrease in casualties of

Convoying as sn Offensive.
The convoying of merchantmen has
now reached n stage almost of perfec
tion, nfter mnny months' work In train
ing both the officers of merchnnt ships
nnd the personnel of the pntrol flotil

undertaken primarily as n defensive
mensure. It has now developed that
convoying Is nt the same time the best
offensive mensure yet devised ngnlnst
tho U-bont.
The offensive side of convoying mny
best be shown by nn Illustration:
When n submarine tries to torpedo n
convoyed ship as submarines are now
compelled to do owing to the Infre
queney of unconvoyed shipping there
if always n destroyer on the scene, and
the chances of tho estroyer's "get

correspondingly Increased. The wake
of a torpedo Is generally seen by the
