A sallor's daring rescue leap from
a lifebont on to the lea-covered keal! of an upturnod boat, to which two of the crow of the sunk merchant cruiser Rawalpindi were clinging. was described when 11 of the sur- vivors were landed at a Scottish port. The Rawalpindi, 10,607 tons, after 40 a minutes' fight with the German pocket battleship and another war- ship of Iceland on Nov. 23, founder- ed in dames with her tattered White Ensign still flying.
The 15.340-ton armed merchant the Chitral crulser

Germon board 32 prisonera.
A member of the crew of the Chitral said that two of the survivors were clinging to an upturned boat. One man was on the keel and the other was underneath with his chin resting on one of the seats to keep his head above water,
Slipping Into The Sea When the lifebont approached the two men one of the cray of the Chitral jumped from his boat on to the upturned boat and clutched one of the survivors as he was gradually slipping into the sea.
"A terrine gale was blowing at the time, accompanied by blinding snow." he continued, jond the man on the keel of the wrecked boat was actual-: ly movered with Ice He was in a coma.

Survivors told members of the crew of the Chitral of their battle against overwhelming odds.
The Rawalpindi, tiey said, sudden- ly sighted the Deutschland and on- other battleship. The Deutschland | Immediacly opened fire. They were six miles apart.
The first shell from the Deutsch- land blew away the bridge and the wireless cabin. The Rawalpindi re- plied, and had a direct hit. She fol- lowed this up with two more direct hits, despite the fael that shells were bursting on all sides of her.
Wounded Men Fight"On" Gunners on board the Rawalpindi were lying about the blazing dock, some mortally wounded and others lying on their feet, but making heroic efforts to feed their guns with shells,
Although terribly wounded, one gunner was on his knees, trying to grope his way to the breach with a shell. Another, wounded on
the head and arms, stumbled towards his with a shell clasped in his arms. gun Both men were shouting, "We'll get them."
The odds, however, were heavily: ngainst them. The Rawalpindi had caught fire. Flurnes swept the decks, but the crew still fought on, and fired shell after shell at the Deutsch- land. The Rawalpladi went down, however, with her White Ensign, al- though cut to ribbons, still aying.
There are only 17 survivors of the crew of 300 of the Rawalpindi. Eleven are in hospital in Scotland and the others are believed to form which
