But (according to one quartermaster): "The submarine...
Although the British censor passed several conflicting reports on this affair (see p. 25), a later "official report" set the gossip straight. A German squadron had indeed started over Chatham. Home fighters had indeed gone up. But so prompt were they, so excited their brother gunners below, that when they returned (after scaring off the German eagles) their own guns powed them.
