CAPTAIN Warburton-Lee, mortally wounded, gave his last order on board the destroyer Hardy, grounded on the shore of Narvik Fiord.
"Swim for it, boys," he said. "Every man for himself. Good luck." Tho boys swam through the ice-cold water to the shore 100 yards away.
They would not leave their captain. One of them swam with him to the
beach.
"Is everyone all right?” he gasped, and died.
That story was told when sixty Hardy Eurvivors arrived in London to be The Transfer Books of the Com-cheered by a welcoming British crowd and to be received by First Lord Winston pany will be closed from the 23rd
