"THE ADVENTURE OF THE U-202"—THE KAISER'S ARMADA
Hunting the Seas on a German Submarine
By Baron Spiegel Von Und Zu Peckelsheim, Captain Lieutenant Commander of the U-202
This is a thrilling day by day story of the daring, hunting raid of a German submarine, told by the officer in charge. He tells how the undersea boat is maneuvered; how the English and French attempt to guard the channel against the enemy's deadly U-boats. He reveals the emotions of the officers and crew of the little 202 in the presence of what seemed death the next moment, and tells of their marvellous achievements in the midst of their sinister tasks. This is one of the most astounding personal narratives that the War has yielded. These selections are taken from the German Commander's logbook with the permission of the publishers, The Century Company, copyright 1917, published by arrangement with the New York World.
