Synopsis
Excerpt from The Motor Launch Patrol
IT was in February 1915 that we had our initial negotiations with the British naval authorities. A well-known English shipbuilder and ordnance expert was in New York, presumably on secret business Of the Admiralty, and I met him one afternoon at his hotel. Naturally, the menace Of the German' submarine warfare came into discussion; we both agreed that the danger was a real one, and that steps should be taken to meet it.
