Next to him iat a German guard with gun loaded, ready
to ihoot.
The compartment was no small the train going so
fast the whole thing seemed so impossible. Yet to this

wounds with his coat so that his blood would not lead
the enemy on his trail.

operator remaineu on ooan onto tue
ship Kunk and communicated with a
nearby naval station, unfortunately no
torpedo bouts were available, to rescue
the passt-tigers. Including many sol
dlers, who perished. There seems to
be no doubt that the commander of the
submarine had been Informed that
rescue waa Impossible, as otherwise
the torpedoed mull boat would have
been sunk by shell fire.
Ceaie to Be Dangerous.
Other ships have been sunk both off
Sardinia and lu other parts of the
Mediterranean very close to the coast
under similar circumstances. It Is
significant that whenever enemy citi
zens or enemy agents and spies have
been discovered and arretted in cer
tain localities where ships were being
sunk by submarines these zones ceased
Immediately to be dangerous. Experi
ence shows that patrolling the route
of convoys Is not sufficient unless the
coast la well watched so that signal
ing to submarines Is prevented. It
seems that U-boats hardly ever use
their wireless even among themselves
lest their messages should be Inter
cepted and their whereabouts discovered.
The crew of a ship recently sunk at
night by u submarine reported to tbe
oillhorltles that when they had taken
to the bouts and were pulling away
from the sinking ship the submarine
whs exchnnirliig flush signals by means
. cit' an electric lump. The Light was
, very dnrk, and at first the answering
siirnnls were not visible, but shortly
afterword the flashes of at leaht five
piihmiirliies could clearly be seen.
''They were like glow worms over the
wa," one of the men said describing
the slinmls. Kvldently submarines
now keep close together so that mu
tunl protection can be afforded and
convoys Instead of single ships attacked.

Temptation Too Much for
Fishermen,
Borne. The TJ-bost offensive Is still
serious in the Mediterranean. Sul
marlne bases exist lu neutral coun
tries, where Information, provisions
and even petrol ar supplied to the
German commanders. Home time ago
three Sicilian fishermen were charged
with supplying provisions to an enemy
submarine off Augusta. In the course
of the trial before the military tribunal
t Catania evidence was brought to
show that while the fishermen were
out at sea In their boat a submarine
rose to the surface and ordered tl.e
three men to go on board.
The commander then Informed them
that two would be kept as hosJiigt's.
while the third was to go ashore In
the boat and get the fresh provisions
needed. If he returned with them with
in two or three hiHirs the two fisher
men would not only be released but
also compensated ; otherwise the)'
would be killed. The man was want
ed that If he informed the Italian au
thorities the fate of his two compan
ions would be the same. Naturally
the man obeyed. lie returned with
tho provisions within the appointed
time and was well paid for his trou
ble and faithfulness. Of course the
two hostages were released. Kvldent
ly the fishermen's story was corroborat
ed by the evidence of other men, as the
tribunal acquitted the two hostages
aud sentenced the man who gut the
provisions to ten yeurs hard labor for
neglecting to Inform the authorities.
Cannot Resist Temptation.
There are thousands of fishermen In
Italy who lend a bard life without
earning n living wage and who can
not resist the temptation of tanking
money, llesldes, they are easily In
timidated by the threats of the cone
launders of submarines, who ofter
ulnk fishing boats and murder the fish
ermen for the Mtke of Imposing obedl
ence. It Is reasonably suspected that
fishermen aid submarines in many
ways. They warn them of the ap
proach of war vessels and mystery
ships aud give them valuable Informa
tion about sailings snd courses of con
voys. Possibly if the allies compen
sate! fishermen as well as the com
manders of submarine . do satisfac
tory results would follow.
Of course for obvious reasons full
particulars about the activity of sub
marines lu the Mediterranean cannot
be divulged. There have been Instan
ces of 1' boats entering territorial wa
ters st r!gtit and exchanging spinal
with people on shore. I'ntll recently
enemy cltUeus were allowed to re
side In seaport towns and even de
serted villages on the const, so that all
they needed to communicate with sub
marines was a Itght. Kven now Aus
trian and Oermans are Interned In

sunk by submarines off this Island
than ati) where else In the Mediter
