Thrilling Experience Crossing,

Dodging U-boats on both side <>t j
the Atlantic, the sinking of a auburn-1
rine when three days out by a trails-;
port, and the narrow escape troin a
deidiet were only a lew ol the inci
dents in the trip across experlem < 1
by Mrs. Bessie Brice and her son,
Kichmond, formerly ol Cordova,
Alaska, wno aie visiting Mr. and Airs. I
ll. .1 Watkins, Jr . lor .i lew day
Mrs. Brice is the sister o! Mrs
I
Watkins, and she is returning to,
Alaska after a visit to her people 11 ,
j hmgiaiid Kin might have told name
t about the eveutlul voyage, but t" do;
| so might violate expressed commands!
' laid down by the naval authoritic
I
| "W'e hardly knew the day we were,
to sail," said Mrs. Brice. "W'e were
to wait until we got the word to <un
bars. It came two days betore the
convoy started.
" Back up,' we were told, and we
quickly did so and went aboard the
Canada, one ol the White Star liners.
Two days alter our warning to get
ready we sailed, seventeen merchant;
ships, mostly transports, 1 believe, null
eleven warships were acting as granl |
to the convoy.
"W'e went zig-zagging on our course,
the destroyers hanging around us like
dogs coursing on scent, while the < en
voy kept close together For three;
days we sailed in company, the dc
istroyers dropping depth bombs at in
tervals. and then the guarding de
stroyers left us. W'e were beyond flu
war zone, the protected area, and from
I that time on until we picked up the’
guard ships on the American side we
sailed unguarded
"A sense ol loneliness settled < < r
us as the destroyers steamed a iy
and fh<*n like ;i great pall a heavy 'g
settled down upon us.
"It was impossible to see the i • \f
ship, the tog was so thick, and fh -e
who were nervous could not re-train
their fears that the F boats would it*
tack us in the tog. Whistles w ie
sounded from time to time. Kaeh ship
had a different whistle, and in hue
time we learned that the Orduna, one
of the transports, was missing She
had lost the convoy in the fog.
"The next day the fog lifted and
the Orduna was sighted She reported
that sin had come upon a submarine
that bad come to the surface to clean
its periscope, and while engaged in
this work was discovered by the Or
duna A shell from the six inch gun
on the transport sent the 1' boat to
the bottom. Tin men on our trails
port expressed regret that we had not
come upon tin- submarine, as the de
struetion of the I' boat meant pou
in prize money for the captain of the
ship and something for the crew i
"We saw no I boats, but we nearly ‘
run down a derelict which "-as drift- i
itig close to the surface but entirely
submerged. When it was first seen 1
it was mistaken for a I'boat
"‘Put on your life belts.’ sgiid the
officers, going about the decks, and <
wo donned them at once. We always
had to keep our life belts by us. We-1
had to wear them or keep them at 1
the back of our (hairs, even outside
the war zone In the war zone we
hail to wear them all the time, sleep
in them, nor could we undress. We
must be prepared tor any emergency
"We escaped the derelict, hut shots
from the great guns on the ship indi
cated that attempts Were being made
to remove this menace to the naviga
tion from the paths of other ships
"As we approached the American
side we heard rumors of the (' boat |
raiders that bad sunk ships along the
coast, but we did not see them and 1
were unseen by them, for we made
our port safely
"Now we ( aim* and by what route
onlx few of us knew, for (he officers
were very secretive Hut wc made a
most successful xoyage and all landed
safely."
Mrs Watkins, too. lias made a trip
through the war zone this year. She
went on a visit to lo-r people and ran
the gauntlet of the ('-boats with the*
same success enjoyed by Mrs. Price
