THE U-65 STOPPING A SPANISH MERCHANTMAN
This is probably the only photograph in existence which shows a German undersea vessel in the act of
holding up a vessel. The U-65—one of the latest and largest types constructed by the Teutons—hailed
the ship—a liner belonging to the Compania Transatlantica Espanola—forty miles out from Barcelona,
Spain, in the Mediterranean. The captain immediately rowed over to the side of the grim sea monster,
presented his papers which proved that he was not bound for the war zone, and was allowed to proceed.
While the parley was taking place, Sir Ramon Marti-Beila, one of the liner's passengers, took a hasty
shapshot of tbe submarine from the shelter of a lifeboat. Note the wireless apparatus on the U*boat,
the stationary-mounted six pounders on the deck—which are not taken into the vessel when submerging,
but are covered with waterproof casings—and the short, arched railings at either end of the deck for easy
reach when mounting from the interior of the submarine.
CATAPULTS LIKE RICHARD COEUR DE LION USED IN ASSAULTING ACRE

whatever edifices they happen to desire to destroy, into use. By means of the cumulative effect of force - v
applied in this manner, one man can raze a house singlehanded.
