DOVER. England, May 6 (by mail).
—Men who were amateur yachtsmen
in the days of peace constitute very
largely the personnel of the fleets of
motor launches which have played an
important part in most of the British
operations in the English channel dur
ing the past three and a half years.
In the recent Zeebrugge affair more
than a score of them were engaged,
putting up the smoke screen and act
ing as “mosquito escort" to the de
stroyers and other ships engaged.
The yachtsmen who man these
launches entered the naval service at
the beginning of the war with an in
timate knowledge of the waters
around the British isles, and also of
the French and Belgian coastal
waters, so that they were able to per
form many important services.
Dozens of the launches which they
pilot are of American manufacture.
Many others, especially those used in
the early days of the war, were fast
pleasure craft, lent to the admiralty
and usually commanded by their own
ers, who received commissions in the
volunteer reserve.
It is true that these men had only
been amateur sailors, but their local
nuunicuftc wan uucn equal iu mat ui
the professional fisherman, and to this
preliminary advantage they soon
added the benefits derived from in
tensive courses of naval instruction.
At present all these men have become
professional and qualified members of
the British “senior service.”
Although these motor launches are
built primarily for fast patrol work,
they usually carry a serviceable gun,
and in several cases have given a
good account of themselves in a fight.
A few days ago a German submarine
sighted an American sailing ship and
attacked her. Before the U-boat could
do any damage, however, a watchful
motor launch appeared and opened;
fire. The enemy, taken by surprise, |
w'as compelled to withdraw his atten
tion from the American and defend
himself against his tiny enemy. The
sailing ship escaped without sustain
ing any damage, and the submarine
was compelled to submerge under a
rain of shells.
The motor launch fleet comes tech
nically under the head of “auxiliary
patrol” in the admiralty ledgers, a
place which it shares with its partner,
the trawler fleet. The trawler patrol
is manned mainly by fishermen, as the
motor launches are manned by yachts
men. An indication of the essential
democracy of the British character is
to be found in the good fellowship
which exists between the men of the
trawlers and the men of the motor
launches.
