AMERICANS RESCUE
FRENCH FISHERMEN

Base of the American Flotilla in
British Waters, Sept. 2S.-tCorre-
spondence of the Associated Press.)
-Four French fishermen who COM
prised the whole crew Of their fish
ing boat Quatre Freres -Four Broth
ers) were landed here the other day
by one OF the American destroyers.
The Quatre Freres, after being strip
ped OF everything OF value 10y the
Germans, including the catch Of
mackerel, the fishermen's money
and food supplies. was sent to the
bottom by bombs from a submarine.
The four Frenchmen were left to
their fate $50 miles from land. in a
small open boat barely large enough
to hold them all.
After rowing for several hours a
breeze came up and the fishermen
hoisted sail. which spotted on the
horizon by their American rescuers
was thought to be a submarine and
was fired upon. The craftsmanship
of the Americans was bad this time
and the frightened Frenchmen hast
lily hauled down their sail and waved
a white cloth. Half and hour later
they were safely on board the Amer
lean destroyer where they were
given welcome in the form of good
meal and dry clothing They could
not speak word Of English but
one of the American officers knew
some French and they got along
handsomely.
Ashore here the wife of British
sea captain acted as interpreter. She
had lived in France and Belgium for
many years and speaks French flu
emily. She had the fishermen at her
house for tea.
Describing their treatment on
board the American destroyer. one
of the fishermen said:
MY hut those Americans made a
great fuss over us. When we sat
down to eat we had about ten OF
them waiting on us. | guess they
were trying to show us how glad
they were that they hadn't hit us.
We will never forget their kind
ness"
When the Brittany fishermen of
the type familiar in moving pictures
were set ashore at this, village they
stood on the pier and gave three
cheers for the Americans
