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. Between the Maplln sands
and the More we had sunk the ships
of a total tonnage of about 00,000 tons

When we rose a large steamer flying
the (Jerman flag was wltbln half a
mile of us. It was the North German
Lloyd Altonn. from New York to
Bremen. I raised our whole bull and
dipped our flag to her. 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.
Within an Hour the three ships were ,
under the waves, and the lota was '

I sent to you for a sample bottle and
from the effects of that small amount
1 was sure It would help me so I tc
bought one bof'e and It has cured me. jn
Shortly after that my husoand who
was a coal miner, was suffering from '
kidney trouble and could not work and 1
I sent for some of Dr. Kilmer's V(

condition, but as the doctors had not CI
given me any relief, I had more faith L?<
