Minister's Escape
Thrilling Story Of
Torpedoing
LONDON, Dec. 18 (Reuter).
The Hon. Mr C. D. Howe, Canadian Minister of Munitions, whose fate was for some time in 'doubt after. the sinking by a Nazi submarine in the Atlantic of the liner Western Prince on which he was a passenger, has landed at a west coast port with 62 other passengers and 99 members of the crew of the liner.
Other survivors of the Canadian Government Mission include Mr E. P. Taylor (Direc- tor-General of Munitions Produc- tion) and Colonel W. C. Wood- burn (Executive Assistant to the Ministry).
The Hon. Mr. Gordon W. Scolt, Financial Adviser to Mr Howe's department, lost his life.
The Captain of the Western Prince is niso lost.
Mr. Howe, in an interview, sald: "We heard the Captain give three hools on the siren in token of fare- well."
The Captain's steward, named Franks, lost his life when he went back to the liner to collect Spitßra Fund money amounting to about £100 collected by the crew.
Crushed Against Ship Mr Howe said that Mr Scott was in the sixth boat.
Those who saw him said that he was crushed against the ship's side and temporarily relaxed his grip of the rope, after which he disappeared in the darkness.
Howe described his death us A great loss to Canada, He said that they had stayed up until midnight to see "Friday the 13th" safely out, and he was in bed when the ship was het. Before the ship sink, the U-Boat took Bashlight photographs of the liner..
Tribute To Seamen
Mr Iiowe added that it was due to the magnificent seamanship of Cap- thin Reid in getting cboats away the dangerous seas and to the skill of the captain of the rescuing ship, that the casualty list was so light.

The crews of both ships behaverl marvellously and the pussenger's behaviour was grand. There was not a trace of panic.
