On the rtucsilon of the Etizlish oeiinmu who had effected the tem- porary’ repairs “ilildéff adverse con- ditions," the Canadian officer was more eloquent.

"He rcrllly did n grand job." runs his story. “These boats have a bcw which curves in sharply

The Canadian officers like the Entrlhlt bilSPS. too.

"When we conic in from a pa- trol (‘\'(‘l‘_\'iIllllg is lnokcri nft-rr for us," is the report, "As soon as we are alongside there are people standing by to look ufter our bouts. check the guns and engines and things like that. and mnke them rcrlllv for immediate service ngnln AnIl they nlwivs have bacon anti eggs waiting for us; that means something you know.” (Eggs are at a premium in war-time En- land).

Wanted and Unwanted

Running-into n trawler l; but one instance of the hoped-for un- (‘Xi-levied action. Rlllllllllg over the I01) ul an acoustic mine is an ex- uliiple of the unwanted.

This happened to one oanodian, but he escaped to "get back into the war again."

Being towed home is another of the unwrmted parts of the Job.

"We were out in company," is the story of Lieut. J. A. McCut- chcon, of Vancouver. "we were quite close to their shore when we lizltl to tow home one of our fel- luws whose engines had broken down. We lust picked the ruddy tiling up and set out {or norm; 1; scinicti a long, long Lcll you."

name roi- himself u captain of 01w of the hornet craft. He has been in seven actions, one of which MW him with a, flotilla of small critft darting in to attack the German battleships Gneisenau and Scharn- horst, with their attendant cruiser and escort craft. It was a David and Goliath affair, but Goliath did not enjoy it.

Lleut. Anthony Law, fonnerly of Quebec, does not talk about what happened except that “we saw them taking avoiding action, and we hope one or more of our fish (torpedo) got home." His description of other action; ll equally diffident. One with E-boatil and an anti-aircraft ship, for in- stance, was “purely a. flap." Wimp" being interpreted as an eX- citing incident.) Action has taken hlm under the tire 0f shore guns at Dunkirk and under the fire of heavy escort; bringing German ship; down the enemy coast. But . . . .. nothing exciting,

"Lucky" For Action

Unwilling to see anything spe- cial in their own exploits, these Canadian officers are quick to see the “excitemenv which their con- frere; have "the luck" ce. They talk of Lieut. Tom Fuller, of Ottawa, who "once engaged n destroyer and another time took on three E-Boats and held a squa- dron of Messerschmldts at the same time.” Or, of Lleut. "Chuc " Bonnell, who got two ‘fish’ into n. large German merchant ship trying t0 sneak down the coast, although shet was just surrounded by es~ CO1‘ S.

The thlngitflu "to tth actlony for which dig are 53cm»; all the time. And, they say, they wouldn't swap "jobs" with anyone.
