Nevertheless, I cannot say that I have never been disciplined for an in- fraction of regulations, and I recall my only experience when I was in Gibral- stion The officer stated that I should have known better than to think that this | |launch with a torpedo was coming | alongside an American ship.

I was rather annoyed at being ad- monished for this error, which I hardly considered my own, and was pacing back and forth nervously when I saw another English launch coming in the direction of the Hartford with a tor- pedo in tow.

After all, it was not so difficult. There was no reason why I should not watch the waters carefully around the ship when that was part of my duty. I should have kept my eye on the German ship after 1 had saluted her, and, above all, I should have taken the reprimand like a man Lost My Temper. Looking at it from another angle, I might say that I should be pleased that T lost my temper, because it was that T have been able to eontrol my temper ever since.
