under the land. Well, I said that I would tell you how I felt, not that I had a really rotten time of it & I was not attacked by any enemy but only our own people. I think as far as I could make out at the time that I mainly got frightfully annoyed at being hampered in my movements by our own people and then a mild form of amusement at having got away from him. I do know that I was not frightened at all during the show, as I particularly thought of it at the time, and that I would let you know. The tensions on ones mind and the strain on the eyes on a dark night is so great that it really seemed to come as a relief when any patrol went far as us and one knew then where to look. We had quite a lot of fun out of the man who tried to drop bombs on us as he would keep hanging about till day light so we blew a lot of oil and air overhand which I assumed to be the popular proof that a submarine is junk and then and then cleared off in another direction.
