Norwegians Tell of Massacre
and Brave Fight
Against Big Odds

. London. Nov. G.-(by Canadian
Press) An appalling story OF cold
ba9oded massacres by Germans Of
crews OF British North Sea conveys
~ recent battle is told by the Nor
wegian newspapers.
The Tdenstegn said the German
cruisers were Observed at 6 o'clock
IN the morning and were thought TO
be British vessels. but Z o'clock when
there was more light, they suddenly
began shooting and the convoy was
terrified to sec the British destroyer
at the stern of the convoy begin to
sink, although it fought to the end.
The German cruisers, after signalling
the vessels; to stop, advanced on each
side OF the convoy. which they swept
with their guns at q range of less
than 200 yards
The German destroyers came up
and helped to spread death and de-
struction 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 naereilessly slaughtered.
I. In the midst of the massacre an
other British destroyer came up and
Immediately attacked, but was soon
sunk in the unequal struggle. The
German f1otilla then cruised backward
and forward among the sinking
steamships, pouring a fresh and ter
rible rain of shells at the range of lou
yards. One shell went through the
Swedish ship Wirndar. exploding ir
,Iifeboat on the ether side and kill
ing all its occupants. Ia men and !:
women.
The other lifehoat rowed back u
rescue the captain and two Mattresses
from the wreck. A shell struck the
boat and killed five of its occupants
only the mate escaping by swimming
The Wirndar was q mass of flames
and the. two girls jumped into the sea
Thescaptain. was saved by clinging tt
wreckage. AS the two young ,Womer
were sinking an English ship hoistee
the white flag. The answer OF the
Germans was a shot which killed botf
girls. Twelve men of another shiI
had Just got into the lifeboat when t
shell killed them all.

New Hampshire BOYS Game,

The New Hampshire boys put up
a game exhibition and there was just
enough feeling between the two al
most equally balanced teams to make
the conflict interesting to the most
disinterested spectator The local
team escaped being penalized by a
narrow margin several times, due to
over-zealousness of some of its sup
porters who overran the gridiron
while somewhat heated controversies
were under way. While both teams
fought for every inch of fround there
were very few medicines of unsports-
manlike play.
