U-BOAT FIRES ON WOMEN BABIES
WOMEN AND CHILDREN, including babies in
arms, who were shelled by a German U-boat as they were leaving a torpedoed ship in the Atlantic, have been landed at a British port. The victims were the survivors who were seen drifting in nine lifeboats by a Catalina flying-boat pilot.
Some of the crew of the ship were killed when the torpedo struck and another man was killed during the shelling. All the women and children were got away safely.
