ve been placed in Canada, he said, but. “in the last war ships were built on the St. Lawrence and that may be done again." The shipyards of Britain would be running at capacity, he added.

The destroyer-her name was withheld-sank after striking a German mine. One man was kill- ed. six were missing and 15 were injured.

Lt was the first destroyer lost during the war which the navy started with 9'1 modem destroyers. 62 over age and 43 under con- struction. They are the how's chief weapon against the U-boat. both in hunting slrbmersibles and acting as convoy vessels for the merchant ships.

Two men were killed in an explo- sion which sank the Liverpool cargo vessel Mutra. 8,003 tons and six were missing in the destruction of the trawler Cresswell, 2'15 tons, by a submarine.

Rescue vessels reported a. third merchant craft sank a mile or so from where the destroyer went down.

Twerity- three members of the crew of a torpcdoed Norwe ian tanker whose name was not gven were icked up after 30 hours a- drift n an open boat, but a second boat with 11 others was missing. The survivors charged their ship was sunk without warning.

(From Oslo came a ruport that the tanker was the l1,000- ton Kjoede, torpedoed Sunda as she

neared British waters w th Ameri- can petroleum.)
