When a British destroyer drew up alons side, our boys began to jump. There were 700 soldiers aboard. Of those left aboard many must have been lost.” Others declare there were soldiers aboard. Unstinted praise is being heaped on Lieut. Commander Craven, who commanded the fHirit- ish destroyer Mounsley, and rescued more than 200 men. Most of the soldiers on the trans- port were Georgia men, all casual- thes (probably meaning replace- ment units) Red Cross workers met survivors of the lost ship as they landed, supplying them with cigarets, tot coffee and food and other necess- tes.

Men from the lost ships who talked to the United Press correspondent descriped spectacular scenes as the rescuing ship came alongside the damaged transport. The men were told it was every | man for himself. Standing on the top deck, men began to leap aboard the destroyer, some of them as far) as 20 feet. Nothing Scares Us!” Corporal J. J.
