London appalling story Of cold
Hooded massacres by Germans Of the
crews Of British North sea conveys In
Ea recent battle is told by the Norwe-
gian papers.
| The Tidenstegn Fsaid the German
cruisers were observed at six o'clock
in the morning and were thought to be
British vessels, but at seven o'clock,
when there was more light, they sud-
denly began shooting and the convoy
was terrified to see the British de-
stroyer at the stern Of the convoy be-
gin to sink, although It fought to the
end.
The German cruisers, after signaling
the vessels to stop, advanced on each
side Of the convoy, which they swept
with all their guns at range of less
than two hundred yards.
The German destroyers came up and
helped to spread death and destruc-
tion on the defenseless ships. shells
falling thick and fast. The Germans
were not content to sink the ships, but
shelled the lifeboats, and every living
thing coming their way was merci-
| iessiy slaughtered. The survivors
owed their lives to the high sea which
was running, making the boats diff
cult mark.
/ In the midst Of the massacre an
other British destroyer came up and
| Immediately attacked, but was soon
sunk In the unequal struggle. The Ger.
man fotilla then cruised backward and
forward along the sinking steamers,
pouring fresh and terrible rain Of
shells at range Of 100 yards.
| One shell went through the Swedish
ship Wirndar, exploding in the life.
boat on the other side and killing all
its occupants, fourteen men and three

The other lifeboat rowed back to
rescue the captain and two mattresses
| from the wreck. A shell struck the
pJAt and killed 1--WE of the occupants
only the mate escaping by swimming
The Wirndar was mass Of flames
and the two girls jumped into the sea
The captain was saved by clinging tc

were sinking an English ship hoisted
the white flag.
The answer Of the Germans was q
