	'For a long time I never seriously believed in the German menace'. So began. Chapter XXVI — 'The Eve of the War' — of [[Arthur Conan Doyle\|Conan Doyle]]'s autobiography, Memories and Adventures (1924). Following, however, his experiences in the Prince Henry Competition, an amateur motor race in 1911 between England and Germany, in which the atmosphere between the fiercely nationalistic competitors of the two countries was less than cordial, [[Arthur Conan Doyle\|Conan Doyle]] at last sensed war in the air.

	By 1914, there was nothing new or novel about recognising the potential of the submarine as a weapon of destruction. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was claimed to have created a submarine but left no sketches or description, stating 'I do not publish or divulge on account of the evil nature of men who practice assassination at the bottom of the sea'.

	The German submarine blockade would confound the critics of [[Arthur Conan Doyle\|Conan Doyle]] by proving Germany had little or no regard for the letter, or the spirit, of the rules governing the Hague Convention. Sirius's first kill, the Adela is sunk with no warning to the ship or her crew. Fortunately most of them are able to man the boats but this is clearly of no concern or consideration to the amoral submarine commander.
