LONDON.—Dodging German sub
marines in the Mediterranean, try
| ins to save sinking warships in the
| North Atlantic, and fighting off a
vicious U-boat attack while carrying
| American troops are some of the
j achievements credited to the White
j Star liner Olympic during her ad
| venturous career of the wartime,
i These were only incidents of her
j experience, because, on account of
| her great passenger capacity, she
j was steadily and faithfully keeping
i to the task of transporting men and
I material for the armies in Europe.
! First it was the Chinese coolies for
j road building, then farmer boys
I from Canada to replace the losses
of Vimy Ridge, and finally many
thousand of Americans to face the
German on the Western battlefront.
“Her work during the Gallipoli
campaign,” writes a member of the
I crew of the Daily News, “when she
carried about 8,000 troops—at that
time the greatest number ever car
ried by any ship—following upon ;
her gallant attempt off the north
of Ireland to tow the water-logged
dreadnought Audacious, was suffi
cient to put her in the first rank
of transports, but her subsequent
work in bringing Canadian troops j
and Chinese labor battalions, and
then her wonderful career since
.Christmas, 1917, when she arrived!
, in New York for her first load of
American troops must put her in
a class by herself as a “trooper.”
She has carried well over 800,O^O
people while on war service.
“It would not be correct to say
that Captain Hayes has brought her
through without a scratch, but her
scars are marks of honor She
bent and fractured some of her
plates when, in the darkness early
one morning she ‘strafed’ one of
Germany's finest U-boats.
“The Olympic had most of her ail
ventures while she was carrying
American troops. During March,
April and May, 1918, the German
submarine commanders made at
least seven daring attacks on her.
Not once did the enemy have lime
to launch a torpedo, for in every
case he was greeted by a '5-inch
shell or one of the destroyers was
on his track with her depth bombs.
Perhaps some of Germany’s missing
submarines are now lying belnv the
track of the Olympic.
“The most thrilling exoerience
which the Olympic had took place
in the darkness of early morning of
May, 1918, near the entrance to thc
English Channel. It was just about
four o’clock when the look-out man
picked out of the almost total dark
ness the outline of a lurking sub
marine which was lying on the sur
face. Immediately after his warn
ing shout one of our forward guns
blazed out, and the ship, with her
helm hard over, spun around like
a great racing yacht and crashed
into the enemy.
“The blow was, of course, not a
clean one, or there would have been
few survivors from the submarine.
Judging from the damage on the
bows of the ship when dry docked

a few days later the blow cut cff! i
one end of the submarine. The rest,
drifted past the stern of the Olym- i
pic, and one of the pun crews on
the poop planted a 6-inch shell
squarely into it. One of the de
stroyer’s in the escort dropped be-;
hind, and by the light of star shells
picked up 31 survivors, throe of
whom died on the way to port. The '
total crew of the submarine was
over 60."
