RE small sea raiders, called “E"”

boats by the British, are used by
the Germans primarily for night at-
tacks on convoys in the English Chan-
nel and the North Sea. One of these
boats recently captured, and pictured
here by our artist, reveals that the im-
proved model has its torpedo tubes built
into the hull instead of exposed on
deck. The 20-mm. guns aft are to fight
off British planes or speedboats that
might come out to engage the raiders.
