One morning wehad seven such messages from otherships addressed, In the allied code. «to"all ships." We thought it strange.!n the midst of tins flock of warnings,there should come no distress call. Thecaptain sliook his head over it. andsaid; "It is peculiar that there hasi.ot been a light of some sort: therehas been time for every hydroplane, iballoon decoy duck and nub-chaser onthe French coast to be hovering overthat tin tlsh." iThe captain then gave voice to the

It was that theIT-boats lurking in the. direction inwhich we wero t4ien steering were ona .special mission. v\'e realized that nomatter how the miss-ion ended for them.life or death, and probably the lat- jter.their business was with us. Theywere waiting to sink those fat, slo\\troop-laden monsters which we wereguarding. Our captain had the ad¬vantage. gleaned from the Frenchpilots, of knowing more than one wayhome. He decided what to do evenbefore a message from the flag olllceordered him to proceed precisely thatwa y. j

It was the same old story of spot¬ting the enemy from hydoplanes anddirigibles, of signals to destroyers,and then of the deadly barrage of theash-cans-tous of T. N. T.
