BRITISH PILOTS
DARING IN WAR
2,000,000 MILES COVERED IN THE
SUBMARINE ZONE.
Work in English Channel Called for
Great Resourcefulness and
Scorn of Danger.
The German submarines, which, in
the dark days of the war, preyed on
shipping in the Downs and the Eng-
lish Chaelnel, have been brought, score
by score, to Harwich for surrender.
Their menace has been removed,but
the men of the mercantile marine,
who, on voyage after voyage, cheer-
fully faced the eeril of death at sea,
will never forget the anxious watches
passed in the danger zone when "ruth-
lessness" was in full activity. And if
the sailors, who, after all, enjoyed im-
munity from attack when their ships
reached the further seas, have much
to remember, what must be the
memories, of the Trinity House pilots,
whose duties kept them continually in
infested waters?
There is the case of the Ruler of
Pilots at Gravesend, who was torpe-
doed ' .Q11 three consecutive journeys
down Chatulel with valuable boats,
and on each occasion by sheer deter=
urination and pluck, and the conal
dence he was able to inspire in othef5,
succeeded in bringing the ships to
port,. ;This is but one case among
many,and there is little cause fbr sur-
prise' that the Admiralty has asked
getting their damaged vessels in,
others with very big mileage, and
many close shaves, have escaped al-
together, probably largely through
luck, though, on the other hand, the
escape- may be sometimes due to ef-
ficient lookout, zigzagging and a - gift
of doing the unexpected instead of the
obvious thing at danger points. It be-
comes a pretty problem as to whether
a man who has been torpedoed and
gets his vessel in, or one who has done
big distances and never been touched,
is most to be congratulated. Our work
has been very varied beyond general
pilotage, and has comprised all sorts
of duties, many of . them of a volun-
tary nature. It has been the rarest
event for any ship to be detained at
Gravesend for lack of a pilot, and in
the times of pressure men have gond
from ship to ship till nearly eoilaps-
ing from exhaustion. They kept going
for fT eiritiines of men to whom honors
might :be•given for their services. The -
®
i
pilots, we understand, or, at any rate,
those working, from Gravesend, have
decided to submit no name except
that of their ruler, Captain 11, Davis:
