PENNILESS, the clothes they wore all they possessed in the world, eight British women and two children arrived at Gravesend last month in a Dutch boat, from Rotterdam.
For the last foor months they have been imprisoned in Ger- many and Nazi Poland since war broke out. -
I saw them come off the boat, tired, with thin, drawn cheeks from lack of proper food-and frightened.
You have heard of the fear of the Gestape. These women have met it. A railway official came up to them for their passports. He was polite. He had a kindly face.

Three of the ship's officers and nine of the crew were killed.
The Finnish ship Atlas rescued 14 of the crew, who declared that the submarine lingered in the vicinity for half an hour without attempting to reacue any of the crew.
