MAKHI.KIIKAD, Mass., April 11
Why seaplanes play such an im
portant part in anti-Kiibinarine war
fare is not clear to me.
I hnvo just returned from a Ion
flight over the Atlantic ocean after
taking part in practice operations, in
co-operation with a mosquito fleet,
against a U-boat. My pilot was Clif
ford I. Webster of the aviation
.squad, tenth deck division, Massa
ehusetts naval militia.
I now understand why it is that i
special type ot tighter, steady of
nerve and sure of eye, is required
lor this adventurous and hazardous
work. I realize, too, why seaplanes
arc culled the "eyes of the fleet." for
from a lofty nerial perch I have seen
laid below me vast expanses of wa
ter and long stretches of coast line
as on u map.
It wus not a good day for flvinir,
The anemometer atop the big huiiL'ur
at the Hurgess company plant told
that there was a tlurty-niilo wind
blowing.
Tho Jbirgcss-Dunne seagoing air
craft was gently lifted by a big crane
and swung out of its floating hangar
and lowered into the water and towed
to the landing stage. They gave me
a heavy fur-lined leather jacket, a
pair of fleece-lined filigcrless gaunt
lets, a woolen cap and goggles.
"Turn on the two switches under
the hood, please." 1 did. Standing
ap, Webster gave the motor a cou
ple of turns, and the engine com
menced to roar until the whole har
bor reverberated with the sound. We
were soon skimming along at forty
miles an hour.
I felt the dual control in my hands
pulled buck. The nose of tho ma
chine was gently tossed upwards.
The water suddenly seemed to drop
away from under us. Wo were fly
ing. Steadily rising, we reached tile
entrance to the harbor at an altitude
of about .100 feet. Wo then turned
round and made several big circles
around Ihe harbor, all the while get
ting higher and higher.
1 could easily see lying on the har
bor's bottom, thirty feet below the
surface, Ihe niuslii m anchors to
which were attached the yacht moor
ings. The combination looked like
some strange marine plant.
Theoretically, we were out to lo
cale a (lermnn submarine Hint was
supposed to be lurking somewhere
off lioslou harbor, waiting to torpedo
incoming and outgoing ships. As
soon as we had detected the pirate
we were to send out a wireless to the
mosquito fleet anil to drop warning
smoke bombs.
"Look out; we are being shot at,"
laughed Webster. Whereupon mv
pilot commenced to put the machine
rough some circus evolutions I hud
not bargained for.
We volplaned at steep angles; we
hanked and we shot up like a sky
rocket to avoid shrapnel that Web
ster pretended was being shot at us
from a submn Hue's anti-iiircrafl
guns.
Now we had spoiled the hiding
submarine. We hovered over the lurk
ing place of the hostile U-boat like a
giant fish hawk waiting for an op
portunity to pounce upon its prey.
We were dropping high explosive
mhs, sending out wireless calls mid
firing olT smoke bombs and hanging
around until the patrol boats could
come up and finish the job.
FROST FORECAST
There seems to be considerable mis
understanding In Hie valley about
the manner in which the frost warn
lugs will be given out to the orchard-
Isls, by the weather bureau. Owing
to the large number of people to be
advised and tho fact that many of
them are on long distance telephone
lines requiring the payment of tolls
it would bo practically ImiiosHibln to
call each orehardtst Individually and
give li i in Ihe forecast. The telephone
operators at all telcphono crhaii:c
In the valley will be given Ihe fore
cast each night a frost Is expected mid
will give tills luforinalloii to anyone
on request.
Clay Wilson, of Wallace, Idaho, a
former resident of tills city, who lias
been visiting his brother, V. T. Wil
son, in Meilford, since his rccv:i' el

Newspaper Writer Aboard Sea Wolf
Chaser Tells of Thrilling Chase in
Sea Wasp Lynx Obeys Signal
From Airship Which Sights U-Boat
Trail Followed Like a Sleuth.
BY F. M. KElRBY.
'nOSTOX. Mbbs.. April 14. With a
swirl of green water under stern and
a: soft purr of engines that grew in
a moment into a steady, intensive
throb, we swung away from the pier
and headed Into the Atlantic.
I was" starting out to hunt a U-
boat.
The first newspaperman aboard
the first "chaser" to be called Into
service by the United States navy.
I was aboard the sea wasp. Lynx
until a few hours before owned by
X. F. Ayer, Boston yachtsman, and
built by him for the Massachusetts
naval militia but now painted with
a coat of battleship gray, commission
ed in the United States army and at
tached to the first naval patrol oper
ating from Charleston navy yard!
I had been picked up at the Bos
ton yacht club. It had taken just
sixteen minutes and 30 seconds for
the Lynx to make the twjtve-mlle run
from the navy yard to the club pier
"You had better put on those oil
skins and a sou'wester, ", said En
sign Arthur Blake of the U. S. naval
reserve, her commander. "It is go
ing to bo pretty dirty outside."
We were now heading directly Into
the northeast, , somewhere to the
north I knew was Marblehead, where
my colleague Duckworth was to per
form his part In the war game by go
ing up in a seaplane from the Mar
blehead naval flying base.
A grey and green streak shooting
along above tho water, and the dis
tinct whirr of the seaplane's propel
lers, notified me that Duckworth with
his air pilot was on the job.
It Is the duty of coast patrol boats
of the type on which I stood to pick
up the signal of the air scout or mer
chant vessel that has sighted an en
emy submarine.
Wo proceed at express train speed
to where It was last observed. W
follow its trail by means of the sur
face disturbance if the submarine is
nbt deeply submerged, or by air bub;
hies and oil waste If the sea permits.
We watch for the appearance of its
periscope if the U-boat commander
dares tocome up to take a look
around. We plump a three-pound
projectile from our forward gun, or

send a spray of steel-Jacketed bullets

Above all, we go questioning,
turning In and out within fifty miles
of tho coast-line, ever ready to heed
the call of our leader and with
our sister chasers ttrung o.'t like a
flight of Bea birds, we ring about
and guard the coasts In co-operation
with the trawler patrol and the de
stroyers further out at sea.
"The effective range of this Hotch
klss rapid-fire gun," said Ensign
Blake, "Is something over two miles.
And when we get our -Colt mounted
we will only pray for a chance at a
sneaking submarine."
