Courage Of During Wanton Nazi Air Attacks
On Defenceless Ships
Six Vessels Bombed And Machine Gunned In Raid
On Saturday Last
LONDON, Feb. 5 (Reuter)-Numerous instances of the courage of seamen and Ashermen were revealed following the Nazt air raids over the North Sea on Saturday.
Two German aircraft" bombed the Yewdale, machine- gunfire smashing the windows of the wheel-house and kill- ing the skipper and three members of the crew.
Defying danger, a fishing craft went out and aided the Yewdale to reach port safely, where, except for the broken windows, she showed little sign of her ordeal.
