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

"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). .ZMMETR&MHKE [That's funny-I don't see any w. sand bunk on the chartIH Spirit of Sea Hornets Captured in Line J r, l “The patrols aren't too comfort- nliil‘. even if there's nothing doing.

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.

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.)

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.
