A Career of Destruction. mKEPT the engirds ruuuing tbe lowest pa>.* which wou hold our position under watt and, moving slowly across tl estuary, 1 waited for what must a en redly come. 1 had not long to wait Shortly after 1 o'clock 1 perceive la tbe periscope a cloud of smoke i the SOUtfL nan an uuur inier u iuij. steamer raked ber bull, making "ft the mouth of the Thames. I orderc Torasl to stand by the starboard to pedo tube, having the other also lorn ed Id case of a miss. Then I advance slowly, for though the steamer wi going very swiftly we cob Id easily ei ber off. Presently I laid the Iota In position near which she must pass an would very gladly have lain to, bi could not for fear of rising to the su face. 1 therefore steered out In tl direction from which she was comiu 8he was a very large ship. 15.000 tot at the least, painted black above ac red below, with two cream colon funnels. She lay so low In the wat< that it vas clear she had a full carg At her bows were a cluster of me some of them looking, 1 dare say, ft the first time at the mother countr How little could they buve guessed tl welcome that was awaiting them! fw> aha namo n-lth ?hf> i?r<uif nltim VU ou? V??"V ?? *- v-v o> w r " ?of amoke floatiug from her funnels ar two white waves foaming from b catwater. She was within a quart of a mile. My moment had arrived, signaled full speed ahead and steen straight for her course. My tlinli On} Large Steamer Hull Down to th Us an was exact At a bundled yards 1 ga the signal and beard the clank ai swish of the discharge. At the san Instant I put the helta hard dowu ai iew off at an angle. There was a ti rifle lurch, which caine from the di tant explosion. For a moment v ware almost upon our side. The after staggering and trembling, tl lota came on an even keel. 1 stopp< the engines, brought her to the sti face and opened the conning towi while all my excited crew came crow In* to the hatch to know what h: happened. The ship lay within 200 yards < os. and it was onsy to see that she h? ber dpathblow. Slip was already st tllng down by the stern There w: a sound of shouting and people rn ntng wildly al?out her decks Her nan was vlsthle. the Adeia ot Lund" bonnd, ns we afterward learned, fro New Zealand with frozen mutto Strange as it may seem to you. the n tlon of a snbniarlne bad never, evi now. occurred to tor people, and a were convinced that the\ had stun a floating mine. The starboard ?pia fer had been Mown in by Hie expio<iu and the ship was sinking rapidl Their discipline was admirable. U saw boat after boat slip down crow* ed with people as swiftly and quiet M If It were part of their daily dri An/1 aiiri/lnnlc nc (">I1<> (if th(> tlOMts 1:1 ff waiting for the ethers, they cam:! glimpse for the tirst time of my eo Ding tower so close to them. 1 sa them shouting and pointing, while tl men In the other boats got up to hai a better look nt us. For my part, eared nothing, for 1 took It for grnntc that they alrondi knew that a snbm; rtne had destroyed them. One of the: clambered back into the sinking shi 1 was snre that h# was about to sen a wireless message as to our presew It mattered noth ng. since in any <\*u it must t>e known: otherwise 1 coul easily have brought him down with ritie. As It was. I waved my hand I them, and they waved biicfc to rn WarTs too big"a thing to leave room t for personal ill feeling, but It must be t remorseless all the same. t , I was still looking at the einklng I Adela when Vornal, who was besidt > me, gave a sudden cry of wnruiug and t surprise, gripping me by the sbouldet J and turning my head There behind ? us, coming up the fairway, was a huge black vessel with black funnels, flying the well known house Hag <>t the 1* ! nnd O. company. She was not a mile I distant, and I calcinated'in an instant : that even it she had >ee? us she would i jot have time to turn sued gvt away t nefore we could each her. We went 1 i straight for her therefore, keeping : iwa<!: j isi as we were. I'hey saw j i s..,:..ng vessel 1:. front of them and i -f .ii'e dark speck moving over the < and they s'u! :,-niy understood d n" r. I saw a number of men . w :is a rat i '? * ere flat- I i. i it.or.

It was a had afternoon for the I' '? and O. eoiiipauv. The second ship ar which we destroyed was, as we have since learned, the Moldavia, of l.VHIl! r tons, one ot their finest vessels, [tut ' about half past It we blew up the (Jus f co. ot y.Ouu tons, of the sa.ne line, also 13 from eastern ports and laden with corn. Why slie came cm in face ot a tho wireless messages, which must have warued het ot danger. I eatmot imagine. The other two steamers r" which we blew up that day. the Maid ie of Athens (Itobsun line? and the Cor morant. were neither of. them provid 13 ed with apparatus and came blindly to tlielr destruction, ltotb were small boats of from O.UtHJ to c.OUO tons. In jr the case of the second I had to rise ' to the surface and tire sis twelve n' pound shells under Itei water line he 3r fore she would sink. In each case the crew took to the boats, and. so fai as ie I know, uo casualties occurred. I After that uo more steamers came e3 nloug. not did 1 expert them. Warn 1 lugs must by this time have been flying in all directions. But we had e. no reason to be dissatisfied with our lirst day.

It was amusing to see the amazement of her peo ' pie at what they must have regarded 1 as our unparalleled impudence in those ! English swept waters. They cheered J us heartily, and the tricolor flag was | dipped In greeting as they went roar- i lug past us. Then I stood In to the 1 Trench const. It was exactly as 1 had expected. There were three great British steamers lying at anchor in Boulogne, outer i?!iriinr Thuv were the Caesar, the King of the East anil the 1'nthfinder, none less than lo.uno tons. 1 suppose they thought they were safe In French waters, but what did I care about three mile limits and international law: I'he view ot my government was that England was blockaded, food contraband a ad vessels carrying It to be destroyed. The lawyers could argue about It afterward. My business was to starve the enemy any way I could.
