April 14, when it was stated that Str
Roger had been arrested tn Germany,
be was actually aboard a German sub
marine In Kiel harbor, which, tn com-
pany with a hartnlnea looking trstrip

upon the voyage which ended in weat
Ireland ten days later.

The tramp was a German veesel
manned by twenty picked men of tbe
German navy and commanded by a
lieutenant, with a junior officer as sec
ond tn command. Its cargo waa not
of tbe Innocent character described by
its forged manifest, but consisted of
about 30,000 rtflee. machine guns and
ammunition hidden lieneatb a layer of
goods which tbe manifest declared as
tbe vessel'* sole cargo.
Tbe tramp steamship, with tbe sub
marine generally close by. crept
through the Cattegat. up along tbe
coast of Norway, always keeping
witbin territorial waters The Journey
waa made at a leisurely pace. Both
vessels struck north and west on a
course which left the Orkney inlands,
tbe Shetland islands and even the Fa
roe Islands, far to the south.
But a British patrol boat bustled up
suddenly and demanded tbe reason for
tbe presence of u peaceful Dutch
trader so far north. Tbe Germans
pleaded the perils from mines and
submarines In the English channel as
an explanation and produced I be
ship's papers, all of which were tn per
fect order.
There wax nothing warlike about
the aiitp, and of course there was no
sign of the convoying submarine,
which submerged when the British |>a-
trol was sighted. Even the tramp's
crew wax not suspicious looking. Maliy

for the allied cause mid the hope that
they would not meet a ruthless U

Tbe vessel was allowed to proceed
Once th® British patrol boat had dis
appeared the tramp steamer's course
wns shaped southward, and liefore long
north Ireland waa sighted. Again the
pace wns letsurely. The “Dutchman”
kept clone to the coast.
Huddenly another British patrol boat
apiienred. A shot was fired across tbe
tramp steamer's bows, and the per
emptory signal “I am boardlug you”
was hoisted. Then the tramp was or
dered to accompany the patrol. After
some distance had beeu covered the
patrol sent armed boats for the crew.
The "Dutch” crew then confessed that
they were German navy men. Their
■hip, which they had just scuttled, was
a small auxiliary of the kaiser's fleet,
intent upon running guns to Ireland.
A boat which did not belong to the
■unken vessel also was found. It waa
a collapsible of the pattern carried by
Gentian submarines. In It were two
men, one of whom admitted that be
was Sir Roger Casement He and his
companion, two officer* and twenty
men of the crew of tbe auxiliary wars

this Irishman since the war began
against the country which he had
served as consul and consul general
for eighteen years and which had hon

Bomb* Carried In Racka-
The smaller bombs, up to about sixty
pounds, generally are carried In racks
underneath the machine, each held by
a separate clip, which Is released by
means of a wire carried Into the body
of the aeroplane.
The rack has to be so arranged as not
to upset tbe machine’s longitudinal bal
ance and to Insure that the falling
bombs will not foul the landing wheel
axle or any of the landing gear’s brac
ing wires.
The larger bombs are carried in a
special fixture under the aeroplane’s
body, and in some cases two may be
carried under tbe body, with one slung
under each wing, outside the line of
the wheels.
Tbe aeroplane* are equipped with a
bomb sighting apparatus to let the op
erator know the precise moment at
which to release the bombs.
Aiming a bomb from an aeroplane 1*
vastly more difficult than aiming a
gun, because it is necessary to calcu
late not only the target's position, but
also tbe aeroplane'* height above the
ground and the speed at which it ia
moving.
Tbe gun. too. needs only to be point
ed In the right direction, while th*
whole aeroplane has to be maneuvered
into the correct position if the bomb
is to hit its mark.
Nevertheless, bomb sights have been
so ingeniously developed as to give ex
cellent results.
Raid* Occur About Dawn.
Air craft raids are generally timed
to reach their objectives about dawn,
partly to allow the heavily laden ma
chines to pass the enemy's lines fairly
low down in the dark, thus avoiding
loss of time in climbing over their own
territory, and partly to make it hard
for the enemy to determine the raider’s
course.
Naturally, flying in the dark, the
pilots can keep only a compass course.
Furthermore, they cannot see the
horizon, and as the human sense of
balance ia Insufficient to enable them
to maintain even keels, inclinometer*
have to be provided.
There are also petrol and oil gauges,
clocks to show how long the machines
have been In the air, speed indicator*
and small electric lights to let the
aviators know If anything goes wrong
in the darkness.
Some aeroplane* are built to be in
herently stable, but this quality of un-
capelzablllty has two disadvantage*:
First—The shape necessitated by
such a design la such that the ma
chine absorbs more power than th*
ordinary type.

pilot's control sluggishly, and if it

Is difficult to get out a fact which has
been responsible for several serious
mishaps.
There are Indications that future
night flying will be facilitated by use
of tbe mechanically operated gyro

In America, which can be switched off
just on leaving the ground or landing,
