Fur catalogue, address: R. K. Massie, Jr., M. A., Headmaster Second Educational Section, Third Cover Page IN March 1919 I was appointed to submarine "L 8" at Devonport. We were told We were told to hold ourselves in readiness for foreign service, either China or the Mediterranean, and our crews were filled up, as far as possible, with volunteers for overseas. With the short time at our disposal, and the limited resources of the dockyardsthemselves in the throes of demobilisation,-only minor defects and alterations could be taken in hand. "L 8," having spent the last few months of the war patrolling between the Shetlands and the Norwegian coast, badly needed an engine refit, but this could not be managed. In August, to my great joy, we were told definitely that we were bound for China. The Ambrose, with six submarines, the first half of the flotilla, sailed from Plymouth in September. They were ordered to VOL. CCXXI.-NO. MCCCXL. proceed with all speed to avoid the worst of the north-east monsoon on the China coast meanwhile we were held up by the Titania, refitting at Chatham. Three boats had been at Barrow, and three, including "L 8," had lain at Blyth during the last six weeks. In the middle of October we all rendezvoused with the Titania at Portsmouth. While on passage from Blyth some circulating water maliciously found its way into my starboard engine, and "bang went three cylinders. We proceeded on one engine, and anchored for the night in a thick fog at Spithead. Next morning we came up harbour, and started to refit the engine, working day and night. We filled up with fuel and provisions, ran an engine trial, and were all ready again in three days' time. It had been arranged that 2 E we should stay at Malta for three months to avoid the monsoon in the Indian Ocean. Many of my messmates were "bundle-men," and were busy arranging passages for their families to Malta or or Hong Kong. I felt thankful that, in addition to my other worries, I had no need to bother about the supply of Glaxo in the Far East, whether the drains in Strada Mezzodi were up to standard, and whether the intermediate P. & O.'s had special terms for nursemaids. We were given a send-off dinner at Fort Blockhouse, the Alma Mater of the submarine, and on a certain bleak morning towards the end of October we filed slowly out of harbour astern of the Titania, with "L 8" last but one in the line. As we passed Clarence Pier I noticed a forlorn little group of women in dripping raincoats, waving "good-bye." Poor things! It was very hard to lose their menfolk for two years after they had survived the war. Off the Horse Fort, "L 56," exercising at Spithead, passed close to us, sounded a "good-bye-ee" on her syren, and made a signal to me, Good luck! Wish I were coming with you." So did 1; her captain had been shipmates with me, off and on, for years. We rounded the Nab and shaped course for Ushant, our last sight of home being a blurred glimpse of St Catherine's. The wind was getting up from the sou'-west, it was raining like sin, and or ever that evening ended a great gale blew." We spent about thirty-six hours regretting our choice of a profession, either on deck with rain and spray driving over the edge of the bridgescreen, or else jambed tight in our bunks trying to get to sleep. We had three boats on either quarter of the Titania. She, we were glad to see, was having a worse time of it than we were. Occasionally we could see the top of a conning-tower at some astonishing angle to the horizon, but most of the time the rest of the flotilla appeared as little flecks of white foam. sea As we passed Finisterre the gale cleared, leaving a dark curtain of cloud in the northeast; the sun came out and the temperature went up 15°, while the heavy sea on the bow gave place to a big lazy Atlantic swell. When making a long passage in a submarine a heavy or a flat calm becomes monotonous in time, but there is a certain exhilaration in riding over a very heavy swell, as in a switchback, where the screaming of gear and rattle of wheels is replaced by the gurgle, as the bows bury themselves in the trough of the sea, and the hiss of air escaping through the blow-holes in the casing. Next night off St Vincent I was woken by the engine stopping, and rushed up on to the bridge to find the boat turning circles. A joint in the steering-gear had fractured, and |
