The waves, which had been running high and beating with territic force against the sides of the Darts M., had at last subsided. Ever since the ship had set out from Halifax for Liverpool with her valuable cargo of foodstuffs and other supplies for the Allies, the weather had been rough, yet the sea-hardened captain had at no time feared for his staunch vessel until he approached the war zone, with its menacing mines and under- sea crafts. The well-built ship, in plying from port to port for the last fifteen years, had weathered too many severe northern storms, as well as lierce tropical gales, for the fond skipper to lose confidence in the pride of his heart, so long as she sailed the open sea, though the mighty waves broke every now and then over her ice-clad decks. Bravely was the stout ship plowing forward, a two days' sail from her destined port, when suddenly the periscope of a submarine was sighted but a short distance away. Men to the guns! was the hoarse command of the captain. The men at once executed the orders given, and manned the guns with splendid accuracy and rapidity. The submarine showed immediate fight and determined to send the merchant- man to the bottom. A torpedo was discharged on its road of destruction, but failed to hit its mark. After several rounds had been fired from the Doris M., one took effect and pierced the steel-clad craft. Water began to pour into the submarine,and the men, seizing life belts, jumped into the frigid sea. In due time the victorious ship sailed into the harbor at Liverpool with her prisoners of war. The cap- tain, standing on the slippery deck and giving orders, remarked to the first mate: The sight of land has never before seemed so good. I have encountered many severe storms, but never have I feared so much for 'The Pride of My Heart' as when we met the German murderer. J. HAROLD DAY, '17.
