- The Diary of a U-boat Commander
- I have wired to the little mother at Frankfurt.
- I smiled to myself at this little lie and listened.
- In a thick voice he muttered, "No! Yes--no! thank you."
- I said: "What do you mean?"
- Which was followed almost immediately by the order: "Fire!"
- I admitted I was, and then heard this disgusting news.
- I ran aft, and found the Captain white with rage.
- I hesitated a moment, and he continued:
- I must find out about this before I go to sea again.
- I replied that this was certainly so.
- I saw her once to-day in the gardens, walking by herself.
- I sail at dawn to-morrow. Shall I see her? No, it is best not.
- I have asked the girl to tea to-morrow.
- I am ordered to report myself at Kiel by next Monday.
- I left Bruges without a word either to or from my obstinate darling.
- I transcribe it:
- I hate Zoe, she has broken my heart.
- I have done it--only partially successful.
- 9 _p.m._
- I dived and altered course through ninety degrees to south.
- I left one sea-boot on.
- I have endured much.
- ETIENNE.
- 2 _a.m._
- ZOE'S LETTER
- MY BEST BELOVED,
- I must proceed with my story, for time moves relentlessly on.
- I guessed what he meant, but hoped against hope, and I said: "How?"
- I cannot leave you!
- I must be careful in future.
- I am afraid the sarcasm was quite lost on them.
- I wrote some days ago that I was incapable of any emotion.
- I was wrong, as I have been so often during the last two years.
- I wonder how the English will behave? What a day of triumph for them.
- ETIENNE.
