AUDACIOUS
RESCUE
ATTEMPT
By British Sub.
LONDON, "Apr. 30 (Reuter). -An attempt by a British sub- marine to rescue the British Minister to Yugo-Slavia in an Italian-occupied port on the Dali malian. const is fold in the |following... British¦ Admiralty
communique:
"A report has been received from the.. Mediterranean of an exceedingly audacious attempt by one of our submarines, Re- gent (Licut-Commander P. J. H. Bartlett) to embark Mr Ronald- Campbell, British Minister to Yugo-Slávia, and his staff after the collapse of organised Yugo- Slav resistance,.---
"At dawn on April 26, the port was becupled by the Italian Army. Nevertheless the Regent entered the part and an ofeer from the sub. inarine was landed to call on the sentor Italian naval Officer-in-Charge. As 'n result an Italian Army Staд Officer was embarked in the Regent aa bosinge while the British oficer went in search of Mr Ronald Camp- bell.
"Meanwhile the Regent lay in har- bour, wearing her largest White Ensign, and surrounded by large forces of the Italian Army. This tenge but farcical situation continued for nine hours while the submarine waited in the hope that the landed British officer would find. Mr Comp-. bell and bring him down to the port. Dive Bombers Attack "Nine hours after entering the harbour, however, the Regent was attacked by two Italian dive-bombers, These dropped several bombs and attacked with machine-guns, slightly wounding the the First Lieut commanding Officer, and une petly officer. The Commanding Officer of the Regent then decided that he could wait no longer in face of the great risk of further attacks. The Regent dived and left harbour submerged.
