SHE'S ON HER WAY TO AUSTRALIA

THIS PHOTOGRAPH, hitherto unpublished in Hongkong, shows the 35,000-ton Maure- tania, successor of the "Grand Old Lady of the Atlantic" which did such yeoman service transporting troops in the 1914-18 war, as she left England for her maiden voyage across the Atlantic.

The new Mauretania is now en route to Australia, where she will be utilised for con- veying Australian and New Zealand troops- the famous Anzacs—to the Middle East.

Deserter She Hid For Two Months Was Found in False Roof

FOR over two months police searched for a deserter from the Royal Engineers. Several times they visited his house. Each time his wife said he was not there and she did not know where he was. Then he was discovered hiding in the false roof of his home.

To the detective who found him the wife said: "I was not going to give my hus- band away-you wouldn't.”

The story was told at Lincoln police court when the wife, Elsle Gardens, Tollerton, of Westwick Lincoln, was summoned for alding Sapper Tollerton to conceal himself, The Trap Door That

Leg Broken, Crawled

To Save Messmates

A MAN with a broken leg dragged himself along the deck of the sinking destroyer Grenville and saved the lives of many of her crew Mirugeling in the water.

He crawled twenty feet to turn the safety switch controlling the depth- charge apparatus.

Able Seaman W. Pitt, one of the destroyer's 118 survivors, said: "Tho charges might have exploded. They would have killed many of us.

"I don't know the man's nunc. He was a scaman.

"After he had turned on the safely switch he slid over the side into the water.
