Blind Into Doom
Submarine contact!
"Missed astern, sir," Fawcett said. "He dived back into a cloud."
Duncan barely heard him. He was listening for, dreading to
hear, another sound, while he watched to see what action the
screen would take. This was not his province. It belonged to
Captain Sherwood. Though junior to himself both on the Navy
List and in his command, Sherwood was senior officer of the
escort group: U-boats were his business. His own destroyer,
leading ship of the starboard screen, heeled on the turn so
acutely that Duncan was able to see the whole of her upper-
deck. Swinging with the same despatch and hard-over rudder,
the second destroyer followed him round.
"Standby for manoeuvring," Duncan said, and Pilot passed it
down to the wheelhouse and thus the engine-room. If the U'boat
had fired, a shoal of torpedoes could be heading for Warwick.

James Edmond Macdonnell is one of the most
prolific writers in Australia today, His books
have been translated into many languages,
selling in the millions throughout the world. And
he is still writing...
He served in the Navy before, during and after
the War, climbing up through the hawsepipe
from ordinary seaman to officer in the gunnery
branch. This experience of both lowerdeck and
wardroom provided invaluable insight into his
fictional characters.
He lives with his wife, two daughters and a son
in the shorebound Sydney suburb of St. Ives, ISBN 0 7255 1078 1
but his main interest, apart from sports cars, lies
in swapping stories, of varying degrees of
truthfulness, with old shipmates
