ALL CREWS ARE
ABLE TO ESCAPE

CHRISTIANIA, Dec. 19.-All the
crews of the merchantmen in the con-
voy attacked in the North Sea by the
Germans last week were saved. The
merchant vessels had time to retire
while the outnumbered British destroy
ers and trawlers engaged in a desper-
ate fight with the Germans, and the
crews of the merchantmen took to
the boats.
One British destroyer, according to
reports received here, sank after ten
minutes of brave fighting. The crew
of the other destroyer continued to
serve its guns until disabled. After
disposing of the conveying vessels, the
Germans turned their attention to the
merchantmen and sank them one by
one.
