Defies Nazi Navy

BURLY Captain Chris- tian Holm, forty-three- year-old skipper of the Danish steamer Inga, has called a truce in the pri- vate war he has been waging against the Ger- man Navy since the enemy invaded his country.

The war began carly in Janu- Jary, when his 2,000-ton ship. bound for England, was hailed by a Nazi patrol boat far out in the North Sea. Said Skipper Holm:

"It was pitch dork, so I shouted back that I was stopping. But in- stead I ordered all lights out and full speed ahead, and flung over the wheel until we were heading straight for that Nazi boat.

saw the

"The German captain danger, and just had time to get out of our way. It was too dark for him to do anything to us, and we just hurled abuse at each other,

"Last thing we heard was a radio message from the German; 'Don't worry, Inga, we'll get you next time.

'Get Him' Order

Skipper Holm reached Britain, and started back again cross the North Sen. His friends in other ships warned him that the Nazi patrols and U-boats were out for his blood. One particular buat, they said, had been detailed to get him. But no- thing happened.

SECRET IS OUT

German cartoonists bave begun poking fun at a "secret weapon" France is supposed to possess. Here are two alampica of Tentenle humour on the subject from the "Ber- liner Hinstrierte."

The secret weapon (above) is rencaica. It is a plant magnet swung over the German Hines and used to lift the troops from their trenches by tur attraction of their steel helmets,

The sun (right) riscs in the East, that ta, behind the German lines, so the French have invented an artificial sun, which they attach to a balloon on duit days. This is meant to deceive the Jermans, who accordingly turn round

and shoot at their oien positions.

Beachcombers Reap £40-a-day Harvest

from War Wrecks

WAR-TIME beachcombers around Britain are earning up to £10 a day, on their lucky days.

Wherever a cargo vessel has been sunk off the coast since the war they have gathered there with their grappling tackle.

Evacuated schoolchildren are sharing in this rich harvest in many places..

Those who tow ashore bales of cotton are paid between £1 and 308. for the salvage, while others are busy hauling ashore huge lengths of expensive timber, which are stacked on the foreshore.--

The boatmen's tackle for land- ing boats is used to haul heavy
