IS CAPTIVE 15 DAYS
Br United Press. LONDON. July 1. (By Mail.) Among those who recently have been released from German prison camps and w ho have reached this country via T'vltzerlatid Is a captain of a merchant vessel -who was taken prisoner by the commander of a submarine after his vessel had been torpedoed, and who spent 15 days In the U-boat. This was the 2d ship in which the British cap
tain had been tor;edoed. The captain's story follows: "My ship was torpedoed without "warning. The force of the explosion was so great that the bridge was wrecked, and when I recovered from the shock I found the ship was sinking-. None of the crew was Injured, and we were, all able to get away in the boats. "As we were In British waters, and it was broad daylight I did not fear that v.e would not soon reach land, but hardly had we pulled clear of the sinking ship than the V emerged. The commander summoned us to his vessel, and ordered me to ?o on board. Ater ask-' ire for details of my ship and cargo, he told me to consider myself a prisoner, end sent the boats away. I was at ore taken below and the vessel dived. "From what some English speaking members of the crew told me the submarine had been away from her base for fomo days. She was a fairly large craft, of recent numbering, having 3 torpedo tubes. 2 in the bows and 1 aft. and carrying. 10 torpedoes. She was also armed with a 4-lnch gun just forward c 'he conning tower. I had arrived Just Jn time for the midday meal stew with stringy meat which was probably horseflesh, smal' portions of sausage, and black bread. This bread as the voyage jroeressod became mildewed, and then S' me bread of lighter ooler which had b-'-n kept In an hermetically sealed reC"ptable was served out. but was even rira unpalatable than the black bread. The oilier mculs were breakfast and sunptr at which coffee, made of burnt bw-U-y and acorns, was sere l. 'The commander and officers of the T'-bcat fared the same as the lower ratings, but were able to supplement
their allowances with tinned ham. Life cn board the submarine was by no means pleasant. Forced as we were to keep below the surface to avoid the British war vessels the boat sweated end all spare clothing became saturated with moisture, while the atmosphere often became very foi. nnfl breathing difficult. "While we were helow surface the crew would switch on the talking machine. That was the band which played triumphantly whn the U-boat got a victim. Sinking of an innocent merchantman caused that crew as much Jy as If thy had sunk a war vessel. Seven "Victories" "While I was on board we had 'victory music on 7 occasions, for 6 steamers wore torpedoed, and one sailing vessel sunk by gunfire. 39 shells being necfss-ary to do this. The I '-boat also Et'acked by gunfire several other stam r during the oyase; but had to submerge, owing to intervention of British war vesseis. On the 3d day I gathered thot the Ubat was about to carry cut an attack on a convoy which had been sighted. The boat approached under water for

some distance, and torpedoed a lare. steamer. Our whereabouts were evidently detected for we dived rapidly to a great depth. Hardly had the boat got an even keel when we herd a tremendout explosion which caused the submarine to vibrate from stem to ""tern. It was a df k Xh charge. The effect on the crtw was evident. All stood trembling, with fn-05 blanched with feir. not attempting to speak a word, expecting a second charge. For some moments we waited. Engines were stopped and all means were taken to prevent giving away our position. Minutes seems like hours in such a situation. I must admit that I was turning o,er in my mind whether I should ever se?; my family again. No further explosions, however, tock r'ace, and after lying some IS fathoms deep for a long period we continued on our voyage. Dreaded "Wasser Bomben." "We had another experience with depth charges, or "wasser bomben" as the German sailors called them. The sailing ship referred to above had just been sunk by f-hell fire when two destroyers were sighted on the horizon, and down we went. By the microphones the propellors could be heard, and as the vessels came nearer w in the submarine could hear the thudding quite distinctly. To and fro the destroyers went, searching very carefully for us. Apparently they picked up a clue, for there were two loud explosions ahead quite near enough to cause the submarine first to tremble and then roll about as though in a heavy sea. "Late the following night there was
on"-idrable rejoicing in the submarine. Germans bad torpedoed an ojl tanker which, according to the Commander, had sunk in Sn seconds. The next day we seemed to have got out o,f the track of steamers, and I went into the conning tower and saw the officers amusing

"By this time the vessel evidently had reachd the extreme outward point of her voyage, and on our return trip three Norwegian ships were stopped for fresh food. Just after this there was more excitement due to the discovery, that a British tubinarine wasin our vicinity Tho crew could hear her. and they seemed in great fear lest she should attack. Again we remained submerged until night. "The submarine was equipped with powerful wireless apparatus, and every day, about 9 p. m. remained on the surface in wireless communication with the base. One of the officers kept a record o.f these messages. One night the news arrived of the American declaration of war. It was eagerly discussed by the crew, some of whom expressed the hope that they would be allowed to go on submarine service in the Gulf of Mexico in order to escape the severity of the North Sea. "Eventually the submarine arrived at Heligoland and I was taken ashore and handed over to a military guard. My only food was a crust of bread, a piece of cheese and some very weak eoup. After remaining there a day and a half I was taken to W'ilhelmshaven where again there seemed to be a shortage of food, and afterwards to Brandenburg, a workingmen's camp, in which I remained until Oct. 3. It was at this camp that I got the news of the murder of prisoners who were forced to remain in a hut which had caught fire. When I
arived at Brandenburg I was put in a large hut quite alone. "My first night was a terrible experience. It was bitterl:- cold, and I bad no covering. 1 wa- over run by rats, so that I had to give up any thoughts cf rest and tramp the f.oor until daylight. Th.it morning I was given two dirty army blankets and an old mattress stuffed with parer and cardboard, on which to sleep. Here I came in contact with .ion victims of the Moewe. and subse-
