ileroism Shines In Dark Tragedy

By SAM ROBERTSON Canadian Press Staff Writer LONUUN, sic-iii. ZL-(LP

Uablel-llerolsm siioiie Llirougii dark Tagedy whui a ueriniin U-boat captain, without warn- lnx. snot a torpedo into a. urn- ish liner in mid-Atlantic dark- ness and sent 81 children and 207 grown-ups to tile bottom or the chilly ocean.

There was 10-year-old Edward Colin ltyder Richardson, a wBp of a Welsh boy who tried w keep a fill-Pk of life flickering lii the nurse aboard the tiieboal. in which he rode the angry sens for some hours. Only H of 38 pcr- sons in the boat survived.

When thc dying nurse asked

that someone cradle her lie-ad little Edward clnipetl her in his arms and said over and over again: "l can see the boats, nurse. It won't be long now." Hi5 white lies were in vain. The woman succumbed from expos- ure. Angus MacDonald the ship's CEIIRCIIIEI who was in charge ot g eboat, said: “Even when the adults were moaning from the cold and sleet beating into their wounds, even when the dead were being lowered overboard, young Richardson kept trying to cheer us up. lie was magnifi- cent."

The little hero, whose parents were evacuating him privately, and Prof, J. P. Day, of McGill University were among thc sur- vivors of this victor-logged boat. The professor said young Rich- ardson was "the bravest. and “ ‘ boy I've ever seen."

Thirteen - year - old Eleanor Wri hi. who was being evacuat- ed rom Sundcrland under the government scheme, buoyed the spirits of 23 others in her life- boat by telling them "don't. worry, the British navy won't let us down." Only five of thse 23 lived to see her promise come through.

Other passengers told how Er- nest Sekulas, London publisher, held the stiffened bodies of two dead children in his nrrns and san to them so their dying rno er — the wife of a British soldier who is a. prisoner of wort —wou|dn't know they hnd suc- cumbed to the cold.

"I didn't knmv womcn and children could die so easily." Sekulas srtltl. He broke dfiwn after saying he couldn't be In- terviewed further.

There were other heroes, too-thc children who sang “Roll out the barrel" as the liner slipped to the bottom and the captain who shouted "tzikc mire of yourselves now" to the pas- sengers and then went down with his ship.

Miss E. M. Day, chief escort said:

“At one place the passagcyrny was blocked by fallen timbers. l couldn't budge them so we

found another way and scrambled on deck . “We saw many other small

boats. The children were sing- ing ‘Roll out the barrel.‘ As they came to the port that goes ‘We'll have a barrel cf fun‘—thr

ship sank. “When the burnln ship dis- appeared the dar ncss was

terrifying. Thcre wins no (lis- order —-0nly thc mooning and crying of the ivouitilcd.

"Much later a rnft drifted by and from the survivors on it we obtained brandy, which we urged the children to sip. some oi‘ the children dlctl of expos- ure. The first tn go was a wounded girl. Then her slstcr. It was tcrrililc."

Then daylight.

"lt was light then," said Miss . Day "for we could see what hail happened. In our boat there were only one child, two es- corts, a stewardess and two sailors alive."
