For weeks the beleaguered city had I'held out against the artillery of its enemies. Night and day the cannon | thundered, but, though the forts were ruins and the countryside a plowed | field, the defenders had repelled every assault, until those without were in despair, 1f the warships within the port could | be destroyed, the city must fall. But | they were hidden from artillery range by a high, protecting bluff, and from | torpedo boats by a stout boom which | closed the harbor. Within that sanc- ' tuary their mighty guns made a suc- | cessful assault impossible. Then it was that the enemy sent in . their submarines, to creep beneath the booms and explode torpedoes against the vessels’ sides. DBut the pass was narrow, and the searchlights played all night, 8o that the moment that the periscope appeared upon the surface of the waves, a hundred guns belched forth destruction, and the submarines never came back. The besiegers were in despair. And it was then that a new device was tried. A submarine without a periscope! ‘Why not? It was not necessary to see one’s entrance. One could feel it. The | warships were jammed together in- side the small harbor, and a subma- rine, creeping like a blind mole un- | der the boom, could not fail to hit | her objective. The enemy tried it. They sent the “North Pole” beneath the boom at night, and flve minutes after she had left the line of the blockading ships, the Queen Dorothy went up into the alr in a mass of twisted iron and steel. The “North Pole,” plished her task, put out to sea again for fresh torpedoes. This had been only a trial attack. There were eight submarines, and each of them ought | to account for two battleships. By the next morning the defenders' fleet would be scrap-iron, and the town would be at the mercy of the besleg- ers’ artillery. It was then that the defending gen- eral hit upon his idea. It was desper ate to be at the mercy of the enemy; ; Debris. l theirs to plunder. Each side possessed a number of | aeroplanes, but they had hardly | come into use. Each knew accurate- ly the positions of the opposing forces, and warfare had proved that little! .dnmagu could be done by dropping l bombs from above. Moreover, the new- est field guns could be elevated per- ; pendicularly, and no aeroplane could | hope to escape from that well-aimed fire. “From the helghts " said the defend- | ing general, “one can sece far under | the sea.” It was one of those simple truths which everyone had heard and every- one had forgotten. So, on the following night, equipped with searchlights and stabmzuwra.i which enabled them to hover with | their engines shut off, aeroplanes | | took up their position above the wa- ter, waiting. | | John Winthrop was In command | 'of this aerial squadron. He had a| sweetheart in the beleaguered town, | as what soldier had not? The thought | | of her gave him courage for the su- | . preme task that was his. From his ;posmon beside the pilot he watched fiw selenjum searchlight—a far more ! ‘ powerful light than anything known | marine skimmed the surface.

He saw it play upon | : the waves, and, where it fell, he saw, | ! i not the rippling surface of the water, but the sandy bottom. Through the gla.ss which focussed the rays upon the retina he could see the inhabit- ‘nms of the deep sea, passing lazily about their bu Here was a school of fishes—there the quiver of some scavenger monster, come to prey upon what lay beneath that mass of metal which had once been the Queen Dorothy. And then— A lithe black shadow passed be- surface. She was so far 1 that nothing could | be discerned clearly except the fish- llke rudder and the diving plane. neath the having accom- | With a Roar, the Eagle Broke Into' | the richest city in the world would be | | i | | his eyes. j water. John Winthrop took the steering gear from the pilot’s hands, and the aeroplane dropped as a hawk drops upon the fish far beneath him, So swift was the descent that the sea splashed him before he touched ' the diving plane that sent the craft skimming along the surface of the sea. He was' too near now to see | anything at all except the searchlight playing upon the waves. But he had aimed truly. Crash! As he pressed the buttcn a thunderous broadside of metal sent his airship careening like a boat in a current. Swiftly he rose to a height of 500 feet. Far below the waves . he saw the shadow, still against the yellow sand. And now, all round him, the aero- planes were diving, and, as each | touched the surface, she aimed her \guns, which from a height, would ‘have been useless, on account of the | deflection of the water. It needed a | sure alm and eye, to know when to | swoop, to calculate how far ahead the | submarine would be before the metal reached her, after the dive. The airships rose into the sky, and | slowly winged their way homeward. And suddenly, with a roar, the Eagle broke into debris before the eyes of the air-sailors. One of the submarines, unscathed, had crossed beneath the boom and delivered her torpedo against the side of the flag- ship of the defending navy. John Winthrop signaled to the | squadron to retire. There was room for only one aeroplane to maneuver. ' He must catch the invader as she was | returning toward the blockading fleet, He hovered, motionless as a hawk, and keen-eyed as a hawk, sweeping | the sea with his selenium light. Noth- ilng escaped his scrutiny. He saw a | monster, predatory fish gliding upon | the bottom, but he saw nothing of the submarine. Had she escaped in the confusion? No! Suddenly Winthrop understood. This monster filsh was the submarine She had deceived him by moving for ward at an incredibly slow rate of speed, instead of at 25 miles an hour, | her maximum-—and, from that height, while every object was disclosed with startling clearness, it was difficult to form an accurate estimate of size. Winthrop took the steering gear and plunged. Instantly the shadow went out. He fired his guns and rose, There, far under him, skimming frantically beneath the ocean, was the submarine. Again he plunged. Again | he missed her. And now the submarine was half | way to the blockading squadron, and already the hostile searchlights were I playing about him. A couple of shells ! whizzed past him, and once more he | plunged and fired. f He rose. The submarine had | gtopped. No! She was rising to the ' surface, A ghell had struck her aslant, injuring the diving gear, but, fortu- nately for those on board, sending her upward. She lay upon the waves and drifted there, John Winthrop plunged again, amid a hurtling shower of shell. His grap- | pling ifrons swung free. They caught ! the fron fish's sides, and the aero- , plane, pinned down by that dead . weight, fluttered frantically above her like a wounded bird. The play of shells stopped. Each | man upon the ramparts, each man I"upon the hostile decks, held his breath and watched that battle, outlined as|, distinctly by the selenium lights as the pictures upon a cinematograph scene, If the power of the aeroplane was | stronger than that of the submarine, Winthrop would tow her into port, If the submarine could make headway f above the waves, she would take the i lighter craft captive, | The head of the licutenant in charge of the submarine appeared at the , opening. Winthrop looking over from his seat, saw and recognized him. | They had made each other's acquaint- | ance when both were ambassadors’ aids in a foreign capital. Neither vessel could fire, for the air ship's guns could not be directed ver tically downward, while the subma- | rine carried nothing except torpedoes —and those were exhausted, “Surrender!” called Winthrop from i his place. The young lieutenant laughed and went below. And suddenly the sub- marine began to sink, dragging down the aeroplane with her, Winthrop strove madly to cut loose the grappling chains, but it was im- possible to reach them, for they were firmly fastened, and to do so would have necessitated unshipping the gun to starboard. And, while he tried, the | waves splashed over him. His last thought as he sank was of the girl he loved. Suddenly a hand reached forth and | grasped him. He shuddered and opened | The aeroplane drifted upon | the surface of the sea, and the sub- | tenant was pulling him in from lho‘ | “You are my prisoner.” | Winthrop, dripping with beside him as the vessel repaired slow- | ly to the fleet. She had not been in- | jured. Ruse had conquered audacity, | as it always does. Suddenly, from | both sides the to flash through ly th he sky h code incredulous- | He caught at his captor's arm. | “Did you read that?’ he gasped The young lieutenant nodded. “Peace has been declared tonight,” he Morse spelled out, as the white lights filok- | ered above them | And silently the two men shook | hands.
