WITH OUR SUBMARINE CHASERS—RUSSEL WARREN

At Sea, Sunday p. m. August 10, 1918. My Dear Folks: Well I am wondering whether you you are reading about “An enemy submarine destroyed off the coast of Carolina.” That is the report we sent to Washington yesterday. Gee, blit it was great and it -just seems like a big dream now. Here is how it happened. We left Norfolk at 8 o’clock Friday and set out to meet the battleship Delaware and convoy her back to the states. She had been in/ the Bermudas. We were jogging along yesterday morning about twelve knots when we received a wireless at 8:45 a. m. from a Brazilian passengership. She was being fired on by a submarine. The wireless was all in Spanish. We got her bearing and the captain signaled full speed ahead. We were going due east and we turned anc went due west. We were all ordered to get into our life belt and stand by. We thought the ship had been torpedoed and we got every thing ready and pick up the survivors. n We met the steamer about 9:30 and certainly were glad to see Us. They had the life boats all ready to lower away and the passengers were a)l along the rails. You should have head them shout when they saw us. The were all waving their hats, yelling and even the whistles were blowing. They signaled us to keep on going west and they were al pointing. We sighted Fritz at 9:45 and he was still on the surface. He was then about six miles away. As soon as he - saw us he submerged. Twelve minutes after we saw hin we wele right over his wake ant dropped a depth charge. We then started running in a circle ant dropping depth charges. We hat dropped several depth charges when we saw the pericope and part of the conning tower come up above the water. We thought he was coming up to surrender but the captain was taking no chances so he let drive two depth charges. You should have seen the oil come up. The water was just covered and the smell was sickening. We then dropped two more ■ on the oil spot to be sure that he was a dead one. We dropped seventeen depth charges and sixteen, of them went off. The “battle” lasted from 9:45 unti 1 11:35. There is no doubt but what this is the submarine that sank the light ship and several other boats off Cape Hatteras, but it is one sub that will never see Germany again. We waited around for a little bit to see if any thing came to the surface but nothing came. We then started out on our course again. About four o’clock we over took the Brazilian ship and started signaling to her. We found out that the sub had been chasing her since 8 o’clock and had kept after her until we appeared upon the scene at 9:45. During that time she had fired thirtytwo shot all landing within- a few feet but none hitting. When I fount that out I didn’t blame them for shouting when we appeared on the scene. They had about 1,000 passengers abroad and the captain sent the following message to us: “The Captain wishes to thank your Captain, crew and government in behalf of his crew, passengers and government for your timely assistance this morning.” They wanted us to convoy them south, but our orders would not permit. There was no excitement abroad at all and every thing went off slick as a whistle. Every time the captain would let go a depth charge he would laugh. Those depth charges are centainly some thing and they certinly do have the subs buffaloed. We set them for eighty feet and when they went off they throw up lots of water and shake the whole ship. It must be awful to be cooped up in a submarine and have those things bursting all around. Those poor devils have certainly paid the price for all, the devilment they have done over here. The Stringham certainly is working fine and if any one says she is no good hg had better be carefu that none of her crew hears him. We have one sub to our credit now and are going to get more. It looker as big as our ship and the Brazilian ship claims it carried six inch guns. I wish we could have taken a few Fritzies prisoners but I guess they are all better off where they are now. We are supposed to meet the Delaware tonight about six o’clock. I guess we will take her to Norfqjk or Philadelphia. These little trips are more as trial trips to see if the ship is O. K. now. I guess they know she is now and I suppose the next trip will be with a convoy. We have had a nice trip so far only for the heat. It has been so hot that kept the hose running on the deck, it was so hot. When we were in Norfolk it was 110. It is nice at night, althought most of the fellows sleep on deck. I have an electric fan right by m-y bunk so I always keep cool. I wilt close this now until we get into port then I will mail it. Tuesday Eve. We just heard from the Delaware and she is in. We ran all over yesterday looking for her and last night we were thirty-six miles from the Burmudas. We will hit the states tororrow. We passed over the place where we sank the sub this morning and you could still see the oil. Wednesday Noon. Norfolk, Va. Pulled in here about eleven o’clock and are taking on oil now. There is no telling where we will go from here. We may leave this p. m. or we may be here a week. lam ready to go now as it is hotter than blazes here now. They said the account of our submarine was m Monday nights paler. I wish I could have seen it. With love to all. RUSSELL.

William Traub will occupy the fine new residence being erected by O. K. Rainier on Cullen street as soon as the same is completed.

Dewey Biggs Left August 8 For France.

Dewey Biggs, son of Mrs. Clara Biggs o this city and one of Rensselaer’s navy boys, left Philadelphia August 8 on the transport Henderson for France. Prior to his departure 'he visited many cities and interesting points, and writes of his experiences as follows: - Sunday, August 4, 1918. Dear Folks: —Well, I am back in Philadelphia again but I don’t know how long I will be here. We got here Saturday evening and we will find out Monday morning about how long we will be here. I just thought 1 would write and tell you how lucky I was, when I went up to the ipostoffice this morning and got tire letter you sent with the money order in it. It has been here for over two weeks but they knew 1 would be back so they kept it here. I made out fine with my school. Wfc all made it but one,,and he was too lazy to eat when he was hungry and he did not have good sense, either. lam afraid I won’t be able to get a furlough as the government has spent a lot of money schooling us and they Will want ns to get busy as soon as possible. I am glad to learn how well Elmer is" doing in the automobile business. He said in his letter when I needed money to write and tell him how much I wanted. Well, I think I will have plenty now to last me until I get same if they don’t forget to pay me. My pay is raised from $36.50 to $61.50 a month now. Don’t you think that is a good raise in wages for no longer than I have been in the service? I just happened to be lucky to get the chance to go to school. If I was out of the navy I could get from $7 to $lO a day at my trade. There are a lot of boys that have been in the service over four j ears and have not got nearly as far as I have. It’s all in being lucky. The officer said last night we would probably go to a port in Spain and be there all the time. Our work will be in the aviation repair work and we will be a good ways from the fighting district, probably several hundred miles, so it .won’t be dangerous. From the way some of the officers talked, we will be .going over in a few days. Will find out Monday I think. 1 believe I will like the trip fine. We are all tnxious to go. Maybe we will be more anxious to get back, but the boys that have been across say it is a fine place. If Igo soon I can write and tell you how I like it, but I guess one can’t write much about anything when he gets over there, but it won’t take any stamps and I will do lots of writing when I get there. " We sure had a fine place to stay in Jersey City. I have had it lovely ever since I left the Great Lakes. That was my long time place, three weeks. Seems like a year when we couldn’t go anywhere, but now time slips by like the wind. We had a fine dinner today. Here we have ice-cream every Sunday for dinner; sounds fuinny but it is the truth, and we have cake and pie often, and the best of bread. The job we have I think we will have everything nice as it is a lot better than most of them. It is next to a. petty officer. If lam lucky I may be able to be a petty officer in a few months, but one can never tell. I aim very well pleased the way it is. \

There is an airplane factory here but it is small. They only put out about one hundred planes a week. They are seaplanes. The building covers several acres of ground and they make some big ones. They sent one out Tor trial that carried 20,000 pounds, had two twelve cylinder engines and they both run all the time, one qn each side. It was a monster. I saw them working on it. They done most of the work inside, then took the parts outside and put it together, as it was too large to go through a door. Fifty feet across the wings and carried five men when flying. I came to town today and walked about four miles to get the money order cashed, then the postoffice was closed and the Y. M. C. A. couldn’t cash it as the main man was not there. I will get it tomorrow. Seems like I ami using lots of money but it is gone before one knows it. I borrowed $3 from a friend of mine; had that to pay back and I got a chance to buy a brand new pair of shoes for $3 and I bought them. That was $6 gone. But if I would have drawn the shoes from the navy they would have cost me $5 out of my wages. That is what the fellow I got them of did. He drew them and he was broke so I got them at my own price.

Yau. never told ime who. the fellow was from Rensselaer that was here. I have not seen anybody yet from home that I knew, but it don’t take long to get acquainted with lots of fellows. I.am glad to hear that Elmer did not have to go, for it is a tough old road for the first three weeks. One has to stand in line and wait your turn for clothes, the “shots” and a hundred other things, but one has to have patience. I guess after he gets through with all that he is alright then. Well, I will close as ' I have a little girl to go see tonight, haven’t seen her for three weeks. Will -write more some other time. Don’t send anything that amounts to much, for I may be going across soon. Will let you know soon as I find out. So long, DEWEY.

It was in Indiana Harbor yesterday and did not arrive and unload here until about 9 o’clock". This made a late parade and it was afternoon when it appeared.
