Three Men Of Reckless Resolve'

THREE Merchant Ser- vice captains who out- witted U-boats on the high seas, an able sea- man, and an obscure In- dian mahout elephant driver-in a Bengal jun- gle have been linked as heroes in the pages of the London Gazette.

The three captains each re ceived the Order of the British Empire the first awards made to the Merchant Service in this war. They are:-

Captain Thomas I. Farrar, of the Baharlston (5,470 tons), owned by the Strick Line, London. Commander Edward T. Grayston. D.S.C., R.N.R. (retired), of the 8.457-ton Karamea (Shaw Savill and Albion Co., Ltd., London). Captain Albert A. White, of the 4,803- ton Stannpool (Sir R. Ropner and Co., West Hartlepool).

The able scaman Is Frederick George Hayter, funinyer of the Stonepool. He receives the Medal of the Order of the British Empire for a five-hour Aght with a U-boul.

That is the award, too, which Aihman Sing Dhanwar, somewhere in Jalpaiguri, Bengal, will receive for his Jungle exploit.

Here are the heroes' stories, as told by the London Gazelle:→→

The U-boat fred from ahead of her, on her seaward bow, so that to escape she had to turn towards the land.

The master could not have been binmed for heaving to and aban- doning ship. But ho determined at great risk to defy the enemy, and at once brought the gun flash astern.

The submarine brought her search- light to bear, extinguished it, and continued fritig. All shots fell very close, but by the bold decision and reudy skill of her moster, Behariston made good her escape. Commander Grayston

His ship was not armed. She was chased for four hours by the U-boat which sank the Bretagne [a 10,000- fon French ship. The U-boat fred OIL her lifeboats, killing arven people).

The enemy fired at least thirty shells, many of which fell within a few feet of the Kararmea's hull.

The master felt he could expect

no quarter. He therefore made up

There was là enough of the Christmas spiril about me when the ambulance whlued at the door. I avoided my mother's eyez and remembered that thousanda of people have operations and don't dic, and thousands of people spend Christmas in hospital every year and martye to enjoy it.

But it was a bad moment pinned helpless in blankets and carried on sirelcher in the quiet dark road.

Well, here I am, weak as a kit- ten, minus an appendix and looking forward to 11/ Christ- ла dinner. The nurses having great fun transform - tramsform- ing the men's ward, which

German People Want Peace

Remark By Nazi U-Boat Officer

"The German people do not

tempt escape. +

He was supported by the whole crew in this courageous if reckless resolve.

His net of faith was justified in the event, and saved his ship,

[At his home at East Farleigh, ncar Barming, Kent, Commander Grayston salds "Destroyera appeared after four hours, and the sub- marine dived. I can't say if they sank it. We weren't hit in the chase -we only got a splinter."),

On sighting a U-

self. I am only carrying out my duty."

This statement was made by a German submarine officer after his ship had sunk, the British steamer Bluirlogic.

Captain boat, the Stonepool sunk the submarine

Whito

manned her gun in about two minutes, and exchanged shot

for shot with the enerny.

The shooting was good, and the Afteenth shot may well have hit or damaged the U-boat, whose thir- teenth or fourteenth shot holed the Stonepool two feet above the water- line.

By resolute and slciiful netion the master saved his ship. The discl- pline was excellent, and the gun- layer and gun's crew did very well. Last of all, the story of:--

Aihman Sing

mauled a coolle.

Mr. A. V. Pullan, manager of a Bengal tea estate, went hunt- Ing with Ailuman Sing for a tigreza that had

The tigress ambushed the hunters. Thele elephants bulted in panie, and Mr. Pulion and his mahout were thrown to the ground.

Allman Sing railled, his elephant, charged back and rescued his two companions, Mr. Pullan was severe- ly injured.

These storica of heroism from two sides of the Empire, the seas and the jungle, are linked in the London Gazette by the words: "The KING has been graciously pleated . . .”

Ronald Farrell (19), a university student, who was working on the steamer us a cabin boy during his vacation and who has now arrived at his home at Hamilton from New York, where survivors of Blairlo- gie were taken by the liner American Shipper, said that after the ship was circled round two ship's bouis,

"An officer who looked like a chlét mate asked

had any us we wounded or sick on board our boat and it we had food. He inquired from our captala, Mr. D. McAlpine, whether everything was all right and stood by until a boat was put into ship-shape as it had shipped some water. He gave us two stone bottles of gin and t large carion of cigarettes. I have half a packet of those cigarettes ill, and I'm keep~; ing them as a souvenir.

"I noticed that the submarine crew seemed to be all young men about thirty years of age or less."
