Converted Merchantman Refused To Lower Colours, Fought To End With Nazi Pocket Battleship Deutschland IN P. & O. LINER RAWALPINDI SUNK GALLANT FIGHT AGAINST HEAVY ODDS

LONDON, Nov. 27 (Reuter).—An Admiralty statement reveals that the German "pocket" battleship Deutschland attacked the Rawalpindi, which was forming part of the northern patrol enforcing the contraband control of German trade.

At,3.30 p.m. the Rawalpindi, when cruising to the south-east of Iecland, sighted an enemy ship.

"It's The Deutschland !"" Captain Kennedy, having examined the vessel through his glasses, said: "It's the Deutschland all right."

The crew were immediately ordered to the action stations.

The course was altered to bring the enemy

on the starboard quarter.

Smoke-floats were cast into the water to

enable the Rawalpindi to escape.

pindi to stop, and when she continued on her course, fired a shot across her bows.

̈“As this warning was rejected,--the-first-salvo was fired by the Deutschland's 11-inch guns at 3.45 p.m. at a range of 10,000 yards.

The Rawalpindi replied with all her four star- board six-inch guns.

The third salvo from the Deutschland tinguished all lights and broke the electric winches of the ammunition supply.

Bridge Shot Away

The fourth salvo shot away the whole bridge and wireless room.

Both the German ships were now closing rapidly and by this time the second ship had gone round the Rawal- pindi's stern and was firing from the port side.

It is officially stated that the Rawalpindi was manned by merchant seamen, and men of the Naval Reserve and Naval

Volunteer Reserves."

AMAZING EFFORT BY DOMINIONS

LONDON, Nov. 27 (Reuter).-The determination of Australia and Canada to give maximum co-operation to the British war effort was emphasised by the Australian Air Minister and the Canadian Finance Minister, broad- casting from Ottawa on Friday.

The Rawalpindi maintained the fight until every gun was put out of action, and the whole ship was ablaze except the forecastle and the poop. After about 30 or 40 minutes of this unequal combat, the enemy ceased firing and three boats not shattered by shell-fire--one of these became waterlogged-were lower-of the last war.

It is believed that two of these boats, containing over 3) men, were picked up by one of the German skips.

Chitral Rescues Survivors

Eleven survivors brought in by the P. and O. liner Chitral, swam to the water-logged life-boat and would probably have been picked up by the Deutschland but for the fact that about 6.15 p.m., the approach of a British cruiser caused the enemy immediately to withdraw.

The Hawalpindi 'continued to burn amidships until 8 p.m. when she turned turtle to starboard and foundered with all re maining hands.
