K-ll and her partner, the IM1, here Is
what ou might call a 'cutting out"

slKhtcd two small steamers, one towing

the tlrst steamer and noticed that she
carried a lot of stotes. Moreover, the
crew she had no boats wete all on
deck In llfetxints. Not seeing any gun
the K-12 r.ui alongside and told i
Klrst Lieutenant to hoard. The ste.nm-r
then threw a Isiiuli at the 12-12, which
struck, but luckily did not exjihule, and
opened lire on the boarding party with
rifles and a. concealed 1 Inch gun.
Tlx l'2-l'J answered with a six pounder
and also with rifles. The two sailing

a nuarter or an hour, giving time
and a hot time It must have been for
the 12-12 to get clear and to sink the
two sailing ships. She then chased the
second steamer, who slipped her three
tows nnd ran for the shore. The 12-12
knocked her about a good deal with
gun tire as she fled and saw her drive
on the beach, well alight and then,
since the beach opened lire with a gun
at l.SOO yardc, v.-cnt away to r-Mnker

She approved of the Klrst Lieutenant's

of ammunition by the six pounder, which

Now we will take the F2-1 4, on various
work either alone or as the flagship of a
squadron composed of herself and Lieutenant-Commander
Namlth's boat, tho
12-11, Hers was a busy midsummer and
she came to be Intimate with all sort
of craft, such n a two funnelled gun
boat off Sar Klnl, who "fired at us and
missed as usual", hospital ships going
back and forth unmolested to Constantl
nople, ".i gunboat, which fired at me
Sunda" nnd other old friends afloat
and ashore.
Turkish Creiv Irrlltited.
When the crew of a Turkish brlgan
tlne full of stores got Into the boats by
request and then "stood up and cursed
us" the 12-11 did not loec her temper
even IhoUKh It was too rough to lie
alongside the abandoned ship. She told
acting Lieutenant It. W. Lawrence of j
the Royal Naval Reserve to swim off to
her, which he did, and after a cursory
search who can bo expected to lie a
Sherlock Holmes for hours with nothing
on set fire to her with tho aid of her '
own matches and paratllne oil
Then the K-H had a hrawi with a
steamer with a yellow funnel and a blue
top nnd black band lying at the pier
among the dhows. The shore took a
hand in the game with small guns and
rifles, and as the 12-14 manoeuvred about
the roadstead ns requested, there was
a sudden unaccountable explosion which
strained her very badly.
"I think," she muses, "i must hnve
cau-jht thoso mootlngs of mine with my
tall as I was turning anil exploded It.
It Is possible It might have been t big
shell bursting over us. but I think this
is unlikely, as we were thirty feet down
at the time."
She is always a philosophical boat,
nnxlous to arrive at reason and facts find
when the game Is against her she admits
It freely. There was a nondescript craft
of a few hundred tons which "at n dis
tance did not look very warlike, but
when chased suddenly plaied u couple
of six pounderh and "got off two dozen
rounds at us before we got uiuler, some
of them only about twenty jards off."
(; rut n lloatu llrstroied.
When the wily steamer, after sidling
alongshore, lay up In front of the town,
she became indistinguishable from the
houses and so wan safe, because we
do not "lowestrafe" open towns. Sailing
dhows full of grain had to be destroyed
at one rendezvous. While waiting for
the 12-11, the 1-2-14 dealt with three of
such cases and then towed th" clews
Inshore and gave them biscuits, beef, turn
and waler. as they were rather wet
I'assetmer steamers were allowed to
proceeil liecuuse uiey uju ui pen
2inc nf luiih sexes, which Is the "imkut.
tured" way of doing business. Here Is
another Instance of our Insular type of
mnd ;
A dhow passeii wuicii tne t;-n was i
going to leave alone, but it occurs to I
her that tho boat looks rather deserted, I
She funcles she sees two heads In the'
water, so she goes back half 11 mile and
picks up a couple of badly exhausted
men, frightened out of their wits, She
gives them food and drlnk'nnd puts them
aboard llielr property.
Crews that Jump overboard have lo
be picked up even if, ns It happened
In one case, there are twenty of them
nnd one Is a (Ierman bank manager
taking a fuanllly of money to the
(.li.inak Hank.
Hospital ships are carefully looked
over, as they come and go ami are left lo
their own devices, hut they urn rather a
nuisance because they force tho K-tl and
the others to dive for them when en
gaged In stalking wurriiiiUble game
There are a good many hospital ships
ami as far as we can make nut they all
plaied fair. The 1-3-1 1 boarded one and
reported everything satisfactory, Tlie
layman cannot tell from the reports
which duties demanded most work,
wlicllifi- It Is tlie continuous clearing out
of lranports, illiows and sailing ships,
genernlly found ene to the will gunned ,
and attentive beach, or the equally con- I
tlnuoiis attacks nu armed vessels of!
every kind.
Whatever ele may be going on, there
is anvils tin. pi-nlili'in of how to ill
range for thu crews of ships sunk.
If a dhow havo no small boats and

Oddly enoiuh she "loulcl not get nnv

In better heart and etuninch than when
they passed down the conning lower
hatch.
The there were uticer amphibious
battles with .troops who had to bo
shelled as thev Inarched toward tint
llpoll along the coast to.ulis,
The K-tl went out with the 12-12 on
this Job early one morning, each boat
taking a chosen section of the landscape.
Thrice the 12-11 rose to lire, thinking she
saw the dust of feet, but "each time It
turned out to be bullocks" When the
shelling ended, "I think troops marching
along the road must have been dela.ved
and a good many killed."

The Turks got up a Held gun in the
course of the afternoon our true be.
Ilevcr never hurries w hicli outranged
both boats. They left accordlnglv, but
one cannot rejoice ovir de.nl Moh.ini
mcdans unless they are Arabs, and I
never met any one In "the Trade" who
did.
-Next, she changed billets with the
12-11, which had the luck to pick up and
put down a battleship close to Cilhpuli
it turned out to be the llatbaros.i
and all her hull scraped and scored with
wire marks,
Hut that again was only In the di s
work. The point she lnlted upon was
that she had been for seventy das In
the Sea of Marnmra, with no securer
base for refitting than the icntre of tin"
same, during all the wh.le she had not
had "any engine room defect which was
no: put right by the engine room staff
of the boat."
The commander and the third olll.-er
went sick fnr i hie the Kirst Lieu

remainder of the stay In the Sea of

the kind of engine room otllcirs that
commanders Intrigue to get hold of. each
for his own boat, and whin tales are
told In "the Trade." their names, like
Aboil lien Adhem's, lead all the rest
I do not know the exact line f de
marcation between engine room and
gunnerv repairs, but I Imagine It Is
faint anil that the fluid 12-1 1, for ex
ample, while helping the 12-It to shell
the benehed steamer, smashed half the
gun mounting, "the gun lavcr being
thrown oveibo.ud, and the gun ncail.v
following him.''
However, the mischief was rep.i.icd In
the next twenty-four houis. which cm
slderlns the limited thvk space of a sub

out of Volhnla. Ilerlln this afternoon
announced officially that Uusslan lines In

taking several hundred prisoners. Rus
sian counter attacks failed.

(Mllce statements to-night Indicate thit
the battle on the Kolkl-Soklll front over
shadows In violence and Important all
other operations In the east nt present.
Petrograd says: "fin the Kolkl front
and on the middle Strjpa the enemy
bombarded us with Ills heavy guns."
The Austrian official statement sas:
"At Sokul the (iermaiis continue to
attack " '
Kleld Marshal von Itlndetihttrg for
the tlrst time since lien, Itrtlslloff's of
fensive began, assumed the offensive In
the Itlga sector, which forms the ex
Heme left wing of tTio far flung Teuton
battle line. He attacked the Russians
between Lakes India ami Voltchlno and
to the northeast of Lake Vygonovskole
To-night's Russian oflielal report as
serts the attacks were repulsed,
I'etrngrad claims no further advance
ill the llukowlna, except the driving of
the Aiistro-lluiigarl.ins "around Ozerno
xx It across the Duovetr., a tributary of
the l'rutli. This statement reveals for
the tlrst time that there are still Aii'tro
Itungarlan forces In the heart of the
Itukowina, contrary to the Russian of
tidal claim of twi d.ivs ago that the
whole of the crown land Is now In Mus
covite hands.
The presence of Austrian troops near
the llukowlna capital, thus disclosed by
I'etrograd, presents a flanking menace to
the southern RusMan army jesterday
reported approaching the Transylv anlan
passes.. It Is believed that this also ex
plains the absence of claims of further
gains In the south
On the (lallcia-ltukoivlna frontier, at

here too the Russian advance has been

EVERY time tho Gasolene Tank, on your
Car, is filled up think of this:
If the Tank holds, say. 20 Gallon?.
and the price is 30 cents per Gallon, reflect
that FIVE of these Gallons are consumed, not
by the MOTOR. -but by your FABRIC Tires.
Of the $6.00 you pay for 20 Gallons, 25rr,
(or $1.50). is practically poured oirr your Tires,
instead of into your Tank. WASTED!
These Five Gallons of Gasolene constitute a
sort of "TAX," levied by Circumstance, against
the Man who docs not lire, up to his Opportuni
ties, who fails to investigate Silvertown Cord
Tire records.
If he did investigate these Records. and
Test out Results for himself, he could rerif'u the
following Facts, and PROFIT by them:

SILVERTOWN Cord Tires have only
TWO layers.
These Two Layers are of piant
CORDS, instead of the 5 to 7 Layers of Cotton
Cloth in Fabric Tires, or of Cotton Threads in
other (so-called) "Cord" Tires.
TWO Layer of Cords BEND 4 times, to fi
times, more FLEXIBLY, than 5 to 7 Layers of
Fabric or Thread rubber cemented together
intoastitr, unyielding "Muscle-bound" Carcass.
This wonderful "Flexibility" is what gives
such wonderful RESILIENCE, and such sliaht
Traction-Wave-m-Manri to Motor-power, that
Silvertown Cord Tires are, through it, enabled
to do this:
Coast down-hill 309& further and faster.
Travel 25 further on each Gallon of Gas.
Add 17';o more Speed, to same Motor.
Ride with 509'o less Vibration.
Be 70' LESS liable to Stone - bruise,
Puncture, or Blow-out.
SILVERTOWNS are the easiest of all Tires
to permanently Repair, the most Luxurious to
ride upon, the most Aristocratic in appearance.
