THE PANAY-EXCLUSIVE PICTURES
On December 12, just after lunch, when newspapermon and off- duty members of the crew woré basking on deck in U.S.S. Panay, bombers swooped upon her. She was struck, commenced to settlo immediately. Later, so the survivors tell, the ship and the ship's boats were machine-gunned. With their wounded, tho Panay's crew and the fow passengers made their way ashore and hid in a bamboo swamp. Some of them hunted for help. It was four days before H.M.S. Ladybird and U.S.S. Oahu landed the survivors and the dead at Shanghai..
THE PANAY IS SINKING—Water is flush with the deck and pouring into her. it will gush through the bomb-hole pictured here. The survivors are in the boats, heading for shore.
Presently
STRETCHER CASES were handled as gently as possible. With them in this little junk is
the Panay's doctor. They are on their way to H.M.S. Ladybird.
THERE WERE A FEW NEWSPAPERMEN ABOARD the Panay.
Here are two scamen and a junkman on the left, then Weldon James, of United Press, Soong of the New York Times, Mac- Donald, formerly Hongkong newspaperman, and Barzini, an Italian journalist,, whose companion was killed.
ASHORE, SOON AFTER LANDING, everyone tried to comfort
the wounded.
But treatment was rough at best.
ONE OF THE WOUNDED helps a 'moro seriously injured comrado, the gallant First Licutenant of the Panay, wounded in' four places."
