1929. And an Introduction by Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly. Illustrations
from photographs and sketches and diagrams by Lieutenant J. E.
Broome. An interesting account by Campbell in his own words of his
experiences on board the mystery ships in which he served. Mystery
ships were camouflaged to appear like peaceful merchant ships, but
with real guns that were hidden until a few seconds before opening
fire, or more frequently opening fire the instant the guns were
disclosed. They cruised on the trade routes hoping to encounter an
enemy submarine so that they might attract her attention, and then
when the submarine came to the surface to sink her because of
heavier armament. He relates the encounters with the enemy, both
successful and unsuccessful and how his crew were the only ones
who, not only once, but twice, succeeded in sinking an enemy
submarine after their own ship had been torpedoed.
