FISHERMEN'S ARMADA SAILED IN 7 WHO SHAVES

TO THE RESCUE OF THE B.E.F.

Football on Beach Amid Bombs

By STUART YOUNG

LONDON, June 6.

THE GREAT RESCUE of the B.E.F. and their French and Belgian com- rades goes on. Late last night to the shores of Britain came thousands more men, who only a few hours before had been in the thick of the fighting on the Flanders coast.

In all the tremendous drama of the past four days the eyes and hearts of Britain have been with the fighting men doggedly facing the German hordes; with the Navy and the R.A.F., whose deadly shelling and bombing have given them respite to reach the coast.

Now I want to tell of the other heroes of the great re- treat the fishermen of England who answered the call to save our soldiers.
