HOW SUBS ARE
TRAPPED TOLD
BY A WRITER
LONDON, tMarcn 23. — One of the
methods by which, as the First Sea
! Lord, Sir Eric Geddes, said recently,
the submarine nu nace is being “held
! is vividly described by a writer in the
I Liverpool Journal of Commc’ce.
A seal lane had “spotted” a sub’na*
line L mg on the sea-bed. Instantly,
! the observer's finger commenced to
1 tap a key and ten miles away, a long,
lean destroyer and four squat trawlers
detached themselves from a pack of
hounds working a coveit, and hasten
ed to the kill. Meanwhile the sea
plane circled aiound, but when the
| surface ships arrived her instructions
! delivered by wireless, were curt and
I precise.. Acting upon them ihe tiaw
■ lers stationed themselves at tlie tour
| corners of a wet quadrangle, while
I the destroyer kept her guns ready to
i talk to Fritz should he appear above
the surface.
The trawlers at the corners of the
wet quadrangle got out their sweeps
—long wire hawsers ot an incredible
stoutness, with a heavy “kite” in the
center to keep their bights down on
I the seabed—and commenced to steam
| toward each other. As the pairs ot
j vessels met, their wires simultaneous
j ly engaged themselves under the L
boat’s bow and stern, and comment ed
to work their sinuous way between i
her hull and the sea bottom.
Then ;he strange thing happened
Two round, black objects seemed to
j detach themselves from her hull and
| float surf ace wards, to hover a second
; and tnen to commence bobbing down
the tide--bobbing down a lane much
| frequented by those ships that brought
food, munitions of war, and hundreds
I of other things to England's shore.
“Minelayer, eh?" called the sea
plane’s observer.
“That’s it, lad,” came the telephon

ed answer, “but her eggs can wait for
a minute.”
The trawlers now crossed their de
pendent cables and thus held the U
boat in a kind of a wire cat’s cradle.
She seemed to suddenly wake from
her danger, for with a bound she tried
to disentangle herself f»*om the mesh
es which held her. But it was no use;
ii he trawlers had been too long at the
game to leave any loopholes and the
submarine was doomed.
“Got him,” signalled the seaplane.
“Thanks,” replied the destroyer.
“We’ll give him live minutes to come
up and breathe, but no longer.” That
j time passed but still Fritz made no
lurther move.
At a flagged signal from the de
stroyer the port foremost trawler am.
and the starboard after one clipped a
imall red tin of high explosive to the
bar-taut wire, and allowed it to slide
down till it touched the U-boat's hull.
It was the seaplane’s turn to wave a
flag, and immediately there followed
• hi crashing of two lists upon two fir
ing keys: the up-rising of two grey
mounds of water and a rumbling,
muifled explosion.
“The seaplane circled twice above
the patch of rising oil, ascertained
♦ hat Fritz had been destroyed, and
notitif d the destroyer of the fact. Then
with her observer slipping a drum of
cartridges into his machine gun, she
sped on after those objects bobbing
down tide. A burst of rapid firing—
and the first of the devil s eggs, its
buoyancy chamber punctured, sank
with a gurgle; the second gave a bet

and harmlessly—as the bullets reach
