WALKER'S EXPERIENCE % ON UNDERSEA BOAT SPENT ii2 DAYS JN-GEKMAN ,, SUIIMARIXE OFF THE SOUTH COAST OK' Sl'A IX After three ' years' service overseas during which lie had some thrilling experiences, ami' incidentally rose from the rank of sapper to sor- gam-major, Captain James Walker one of the best-known skippers in British Columbia 'waters, is back home, having reached Victoria on Sunday. 'Captain Walker's1 most- exciting tlruo was spent on board the H.S.-tf formerly of the Sampson,' wliile tow- Ins a refrigerator barge and machinery to the troops from England to Mesopotamia. He left Victoria with a draft of the Inland Water Transport section of the Royal Engineers early in J 1)17, and, after six weeks training in Montreal, proceeded t ��������� England on the S. S. Saturnia on which vessel, enroute to Liverpool, a .submarine attack was made, but fortunately the liner escaped without .-injury. Left for Mesopotamia Capt. Walker served In various ca^ pacifies in England, in charge of tugs and other vessels operating' off the coast of Great Britain. It. was iu August^ 1917, that he was placed in charge of the H.S.-3. Leaving England in. the early morning of August 28 on tlie voyage to Mesopotamia, all went weU until September 1.2, when the vessel had reached a point fity-six miles south- West'of the mouth of the Tagus, Portugal. At 4:20 o'clock-in the afternoon it was blowing half a gale of wind and a. big sea was running.1 Without warning Captain Walker's vessel was shelled for a period of thirty-five minutes, and it, was only the rough weather, and the suiallness of the vessel that saved it from utter destruction. After half a dozen shots had been , fired Captain Walker sighted the submarine about two and a half mi- miles distant. As he had no gun on board, the only defensive weapon served out being a rifle and 100 rounds of ammunition each, it was utterly impossible to put up a fight, but he ordered full speed ahead and took a zig-zag,/ course, thinking to evade the submarine until darkness fell, with the intention of picking The crew of the tow off, and escaping to the beach in the U.S.-3 alone. Would Have IJeen Target - The submarine commander, however, seemed to anticipate this movt? and closed in, making Capt. -Walker says, a very good target for the H.S. -?> if the vessel had been equipped with a suitable defensive wc-iuon. The last shell fired at the U.S.-3 before the crew leftcarried away the port-after corner of the pilot house, and seeing it was useless to sacrifice life heedlessly, Captain Walker ordered the men into the lifeboats'. j After fifteen or twenty minutes in" the lifeboats the men saw the submarine coining toward them at ��������� ".1 speed and when he got close enough up (he Hun captain ordered ihe boats ��������� around to his bow. Captain Walker, being suspicious of the Hun's movements and believelng that he inten l- ed to run them down, pulled arouuci to the, submarine's stern. The Hun ordered the party alongside and to their amazement machine guns and a four-inch gun were turned on them and they were ordere to throw up , their hands. Atrthis stage the Huns '. took photographs of the party In the boats and then ordered all hands on board of the .underwater craft wl;h the exception of Captain Walker and two sailors. Two officers from the submarine- .with a sailor then boarded Capt. Walker's lifeboat carrying iwo ba.-,s of bombs and fuses and each armed with revolvers. Orders were given to^pull for the M.S.-3 when Cant. Walkor and his men wore ordered to accompany (lie Huns on board, and were told if they started any no-j sense they would be shot. The officers placed one bomb forward, one aft. and one under the boilers, but before timing them tltey inquired if there was any liquor on board. Though there were twenty gallons of rum stored away on the vessel, Capt. Waller considered their lives were in sufficient jeopardy, without the Huns becoming drunk, and therefore mplir-d in the negative. Before leaving the tug, Capt. Walker suggested that ihe fow-line should be slipped as he anticipated that the tuy would andHiey wore afraid .thai if '.ape their "comrades on I marine would have been made to p the penalty, Capt. Walker ordere/; the boat hack 1.6-the hargo therefore they took tlie Huns off, and shortly afterward the barge also blew u).. The entire party then boarded the submarine which took tlie lifeboats in tow. For the first half hour Capt. Walker and his entire crew were left standing on the fore part of the conning tower up to their waists In water and tliey' began to believe t.h-.it it-was' the Jlun Commander's,; intention finally to submerge and leave tlieni to drown. One of, the Hun's overheard Cap-. Walker make a remark to that effect, but informed him that such win, not their intention; that they were not brutes, and they did not believe that other U-boats were indulging in such practises. Capt. -Walker then asked why'the lifeboats had been passed aft and the men were kept standing. The reply was that the sea was too rough, and it would be dangerous for the crew to spend the night in the lifeboats; therefore they would keep the men on board until the following,day and sort out thbo<-- who would be freed from thoce wh ������ would be detained. Accomodations were then made for the men below, and they were given some hot coffee!, and black' bread. . Sleeping accomodation was cramped and they were soaking wet. They were therefor-.! ghul when morning arrived and they were ordered on deck' lo find tha' the day was bright and Ihe sea calm ) Tlie Prisoners. The names and ranks of the mi'i: were taken by the U-comninndor Capt. Walker and Sorgt. -Thouiaa Morrison, of Victoria, late second engineer of the steamship ICatevan. who was the first mate,- who had1 be"u badly wounded on the western front and was ' only convalescent at the time, were among the men chosen' fcv the' commander to be held as priso .- 'ers. Capt. Walker's appeal for th.; sick man's- freedom, however, wa.> favorably considered by the commander, who remarked that a man who '. had done his bit. deserved his freedom. A second engineer and a lieutenant were the only others detained and the rest of the crew were ordered into the life-boats. The U-eoin- mander ordered biscuits, water a compass to be furnished them, after which they were towed close to the shore. The men were given their course to the mouth of the Tagus, and told to report to the authorities that their comrades- were safe on ��������� the U-boat, but though they Would be well treated.they would be a long , time on board. ! ���������-. Leaving the life-boats, the submarine turned' westward and"two hours later a: Porfcguese schooner" was sighted and sunk. * Capt. ^.Walker was p'ermitted to remain on deck to witness the blowing up of the vessel. Ho was later put down in the after-end of the submarine," separate from the others, who were kept, in the fonv- end, all sleeping on top of the torpedo tubes that were destined to carry destruction to British i '1 Allied vessels. . ��������� , Captain Walker was on boari the submarine for twenty-two days, during which time 20,000 tons of shipping was destroyed and ihe supply of torpedoes' was run out, when tlie submarine returned to its base at Cattaro, in Montenegro, on the Ad riatlc. ��������� ��������� It was always during the night that the submarine got in its deadly work, mostly between the hours of midnight and 4 o'clock in the morning, and it was with no pleasant feeling for the British seamen on board Ihc.y d-.i j.'Miifun controlling ui sub- plane,aft,-much agi' v attention was paid to this, ���������howevjr, and (.he train proceeded en ks- way, the Germans being as callous of, tha: r own people as they were of their enemies.' It was a, "five-mile march from the Bradenburg railway station to l.'h;; prison camp, which was reached. i\\ four o'clock in the afternoon.

It was a real nightmare to them, and they remained su'bineregd for sixteen hours at.the greatest depth ever attained, while Capt. Walker "was on board before the passage was made. One of. the most exciting times of the trip, was the day after maki ."g this passage.;when all hands were ordered on- deck for fresh air. There was no fresh-water to drink, and coffee was 'the only liquid refresh men I.. The' men all took a salt water bath, and lay down on the submarine {.:> dry. Nearly everybody fell asleep n the warm-'Sun, When suddenly someone yelled,"and everybody, dived belter skeltcj; jnto the hold of the submarine; which submerged just in lime to'dodge a depth bomb' droppe > by an Kalian aeroplane which happened to be returning fi'om a boiii'j- ing expedition to Pola. Weill to Montenegro. f' The submarine was down about, forty feel'-when the bomb' exploded and almost . shook Ihe vessel to pieces. Two' days later another sub- ���������marine came out and escorted the \f- boat through the mine fields into Cattaro, where the ' prisoners were kept, below deck in tlie sweltering heat while the vessel lay on th*. surface. The prisoners were after-' wards, transferred from I'he submarine to a' steam pinnace . which tow I hem lo a place called Castle Neuv?, Arriving there, they up the side of a old fort, where 'they j were detained for four days under an Austrian guard, waiting orders to.-; an(* shipment to Germany. The men were treated ve ly at this fort, says'Capt. W the Austrians had about as much use for the Germans as the British had. Finally orders came from Berlin to transfer' the men to Brandenburg, Germany and they were put on a. narrow-gauge ,. mountain railway train and taken'over the Dalmati i- Alps into Austria-Hungary. A transfer was made to the main line, and a day was spent in Budapest. A Generous Man. During the day in Budapest the guard took, the party across the city from one railway, terminus,to another and a Hungarian who was taking a three-pound piece of bacon fat home as a special treat to his wife, seeing i the Canadan numerals on the shoul-: in Montenegro, were marched mountain Ho''an were the tales of experiences thai were exchanged. There were fifteen hundred Britishers in the camp, 9,- 000 Russians, 2,n00 French, ' 4,00 ) Italians, 200 ' Belgians, -thirty-six Americans, all taken from merchan; vessels with the exception of tin- survivors from the naval engage meats. 'l lie prisoners soon learned f" ap predate the advantages of an organization instituted by the British nava.' men for systematic relief for' newh arrived prisoners, pending receipt o comforts from England, which generally arrived five Weeks after notific ation of prisoners' arrival was given by the Germans'., This relief came through the Red Cross Society in Copenhagen. After three mouths spent in th- Brandenburg camp most of Ihe nav al men were transferred to Holland where' they were." interned.- Caps Walker was elected'president of lb British lied Cross Help .Committer and Sorgl.

There were three submarines, It was later discovered, who worked on schedule and were in constant touch with each other by underwater wireless. One patrolled the African side Ratibon, where it was raining hard. It was Sunday morning and people were just going to church "-and the party was paraded in front of them to be jeered at. They were th m thrown into the town jail, the whole party occupying but one cell, where men huddled together to g'-r of the Gibraltar Straits; one the mid-; the channel and the other the Spanish! warm. Here they were kept, fji coast. Capt. Walker was on the one patrolling the African side. Each consecutive day the submar- siated ine would stand up toward. Gibraltar. which and take a look around.

Result of Explosion. This warning was not heeded, and what Capt. Walker anticipated d , happen. The Huns were on th'; barge when Capt.Walker was keeping the small boat alongside. The tug swung under the barge and blew up. Fortunately the small boat s. painter carried away and the gay^r caused by the explosion threw thau; several hundred yards' without causing them injury.- All thought of making an escape wan a bund on ed owing to the fact that the submarine was too closr .destroyers, however, were ��������� very ac- Itive^nd were the terror of the submarines'. They would immediately submerge to 300 feet and remain there for hours. Many were the depth bombs dropped around the submarine while Capt. Walker was within, severely jarring the vessel on several occa- 'sions as well as the nerves of llu> their to. Huns, who though so the approach of danger danced with glee when padoes found their mark. During the operations, the submarine picked up three captains, a Greek captain- commanding"4 a 4.000-ton Greek steamer and the captain of the S. S. Polar Prince, a British vesse': also three engineers. The Gre-^k captain and his engineers were put on board a fishing vessel after about seven- days, the Italian and Britis'e captains being detained. Conditions Improve. One of (lie peculiar features of fh.1 they were again paraded, and the same thing was .done in Berlin when the party arrived there. A transfer was made to.the local train which passed tlie Kaiser's palace at Poi.s dam. of which the party obtained a good view, .and shortly afterward they arrived at Bradenburg, their final destination. The whole jour ney had consumed six . days and a frightened. ;ttj half, during, all of which the prison- to themselves jors' had to sit in a very cramped position and the men took turns at crawling under the seat to have a sleep. The party had to put up with the banter and chaff of the German and Austrian trrops throughout the journey, the trains being packed with soldiers who were being transferred to the western front. Illustrating the terror of goinjc M. tlie western front, respecting which so many tales have been told of Gorman soldiers, Capt.
