Stevens of New York, medical offi cer at this base, owes hia life to the fact that he was taken prisoner by the Germans, while Dr. Harry J. Dooley of Chicago, successor to Dctor Stevens, as-slstaiit surgeon., owes his lllierty to the fuct that Doctor Stevens Is a pris oner. It is one of those weird romances of the sea Hud war. Word was Hashed to the Iwunbing base one afternoon that a seaplane was down on the surface of the water about thirty miles off the coast. A fast motor boat, ready for such emer gencies, was sent out. A surgeon al ways accompanies such expeditions. Doctor" LVxdey in ordinary circumstan ces would have gone. But Doctor Stev ens whs Just retiring from the post, find he i hough t the trip might do him good. "I think 111 fio,: he said to Doctor Dooioy. "It will be my last trip and the Journey will be something of a re lief." ' lie Jumped into the boat and was off. There were six others ulteiint. They reached the stranded seaplane in a little under two hours. The flyer's men had got her into condition again and were jtwt ready to start off. Thv left the motor boat and landed back ut the I I'm- in umh time. Shelled by Germans. It was dark. The surgeon, seeing what he thought were lights of n town near the hase, headed 'the motor hunt In what lie supposed the correct direc tion. They surged through the light seas for nil hour or more. Th y r.p-piripr-lied clpse to the supposed hoiae lights, when suddenly . the scream of shell wuS beard coming straight at them. It exploded directly in the hack of the boat. A second shell dropped about two hundred yanN in from. '"The Germans are shelling us," rail ed one of the men. "Where are we?" asked the skioper. They were under German gnus. The lights they thought their base llg!rs hiid heen far off. They had been steer ing straight toward Germiin-hehl ground. '.lump into the water!" commanded the surgeon. The men went overlioard. ' Half a minute later a shell struck In the cen ter of the boat. It blew a great hole !r: her and sank her. A strom: current was running up the shore. Doctor Stevens and one oih tr man. being strong-swimmers, heud ed for the nearest point of land. They reached ihe beach. They were drag ging tin mselves throngh the surf and bad jo?t reached the shallow water when u sqnad of German soldiers mnrchefl down the sands with drawn bayonets and commanded: "Surrender! You are on German territory !" Doctor Stevens and his companion surrendered. Meanwhile the other five men were trying to make land. Two of them headed down with the current, look ing for any chance to make land. The o'her three attempted a shorter cut by swimming the current at an angle. One of this trio was drowned. The other two got to land and were cap tured by the Germans. The two men who were left swimming in the current were in a weakened condition when two British officers ashore made them out The Britons jumped into the surf, swam out and dragged the men ashore. They ran to a telephone and called the bombing base. "We have two of your men suffer ing from exposure and exhaustion. Their boat was sunk by Germans and two of the men taken prisoner," said the voice. Germans Raid Base. Maurice M. Moore of Washington, D. C, Jumped into the camp Jitney and started for the place where the res cued men were. He had to drive over exposed roads,' but he made the up Journey safely, his car loaded with blankets. He took the men aboard 'and started home. Suddenly shells ibegan exploding In front of him and buck, of him. But through the canopy of bursting sheila the little jitney made wpeed safely for more than five miles. getting in without even a scratch. ' Meanwhile the German bombing planes started to raid the base. .The sound of exploding bombs dropping around the air base was heard by Mr. Moore even before the automobile was near home. ."Where is Stevens!" asked the ex ecutive officer, as the car drew up. "Taken prisoner by the Germans, was the reply. "Well,: I guess he Is lucky at that. His pet place. In which he always stands when the raiders come, ' was blown to pieces half an hour ago." . "We have been wondering who la the lockfcr of the two Stevens or Dooley." . said the . executive officer; "Dooley for not being captured of Stevens for -not being killed." .y UONT TOOL IT RWi AND MhKE LlFEONE ' ". .
