The last battle Between a vi-boat and a U-boat says the New York World Telegram, was fought in the Straits of Gibraltar on the night of Nov.

9-10, 1918. It ended in the sinking of the U-34 by the Q-19. Periodical reports from England in recent years showed that since that victorious encounter the British Admiralty has spared neither effort nor money to develop this new branch of the navy, and it appears likely that Q-boats will soon be hunting the U-boats in European waters again. Tramps Prove Best When the World War ended 180 British Q-boats were patrolling the North Sea, the Atlantic, the English Channel, the Mediterranean and even the Baltic. Behind the evolution of the Q-boats lay the simple idea of camouflage.

Almost every type of vessel was used in this service sailing schooners, fishing smacks, hile the fishermen were out their nets.

IJ fiifag Si 111) "If i A New Shipment whalers, trawlers, freighters, and passenger ships. Their tonnage ranged from a few hundred to 8000 and 10,000 tons.

But the lowly tramp steamer, the general utility ship of the seven seas proved to be the most effective type of Q-boat. These vessels were rigged out to look like harmless ships that would be an easy prey for the predatory U-boats. They idled along the seas in happy-go-lucky fashion, offering ideal targets for attack. So innocent was their appearance that on scores of occasions the U-boat commanders were deceived and rose to the bait. And the fun began.

The Q-boats were equipped with collapsible deckhouses which concealed 4.7-inch guns. Some of the lifeboats were without bottoms and shielded 12-pound guns. A false deck in the bow hid two torpedo tubes with the torpedoes ready for launching. And depth bombs were stored within easy reach. Pretended Hit On sighting the Q-boat the submarine would fire a torpedo.

Sometimes it would hit its mark, but more often it missed. But in cither case a burst of steam would shoot from the side of the ship, usually issuing from a pipe built there and connected with the engine room. Then a "panic party" would be staged on board the ship. The observers at the U-boat's periscope would see officers and members of the crew rushing for the lifeboats. In cases where the ship appeared to be a passenger steamer they would even see panic-stricken women.

In reality these were members of the crew who wore women's clothing above the waist but their own trousers and s-eaboots below. One or two lifeboats would put off from the steam enveloped f-hip. This super-realistic performance had the effect of bringing the' U-boat- to the. surface. Jlometimes it would fire a few shells at the ship.

Flag Goes Up Then suddenly the scene would change. The white ensign, showing that the ship was a warship, would be run up and at the same time the collapsible, deckhouse and other camouflaged parts would disappear and fire would pour rom the concealed guns, manned by half of the crew who had remained invisible during the earlier part of the grim comedy. Sometimes it would happen that the Q-boat was actually sinking. That happened to the Q-5 when she was attacked by the U-83 off the Irish coast -on Feb. 17, 1917.

The Q-5 a tramp steamer of 3200 tons had been torpedoed and was sinking when the U-boat rose within 100 yards. Commander (later Rear Admiral) Gordon Campbell, who had remained on the ship with half his crew gave the command to fire. The U-boat sank before her startled crew knew what had happened. Eight of the submarine's men were picked up by the Q-boat, which Jater was towed by destroyers to Queens. It was estimated that Q-boats destroyed or disabled 80 U-boats in the World War.
