EXTRACTS FROM NOVEL
The Admiral settled back in his chair, and took a drink from his glass, then looked at the two officers sitting in front of him.
He smiled, and looking at John said, “That was a great job you did in the Irish Sea John, and Churchill is over the moon, more so, as the Irish have no idea that we were involved, so no political letters of complaint flying about.
In fact Churchill bit through his cigar when he heard the good news, Mind you, I suspect that the Irish Republican Government have a fair idea that we were up to something in their waters, but find it convenient not to mention anything.

was round the bend, and not fit to knit socks.
However, after their adventures, they were in a truce stage, but they both knew that this would not last, Fritz Bruno knew that his Kapitan would soon start going odd again, more so, once there was a full moon, Nevertheless, for now, he thought, I might as well enjoy the peace and calm,

I was fully convinced that old Adolf or even Admiral Doenitz would have us and the crew shot for the loss of our old UBoat.
”


So UX sailed on in the English Channel, and in the midpoint between England and France, turned north and headed towards the Orkney Islands.
Now, one of the things about sailing towards the north of the British Islands in a war situation, or for that matter, in any compass point, is that the British Navy would try to stop you.
More so if you had the magic letters U painted on the sides, The British Admiralty had no sense of humour in this respect, so UX, or rather its Kapitan, made sure that they remain submerged, but on occasion, just out of interest, they would poke their periscope out of the water.
