Destroyer Parker Rescued
Nine Survivors of Hos
pital Ship
E;oht Men Braved
Death in Icy Seas
Parliament Told of Gallant
Deeds in U-Boat In
tested Zone

1nNDON. March 13.-"Profound ap-
,recistion" for the work of the Ameri-
.sn destroyer Parker in rescuing sur
xivors of the British hospital ship
c,enart Castle was voiced by the Brit
;sh Admiralty's spokesman in the House
of Commons to-day, Thomas James
NacNamara, Financial Secretary of the
Admiralty.
Mr.. MacNamara made his statement
in reply to questions by Sir j. Fortes-
eue Flannery, member for the Maldon
Division of Essex, who called the at
tention Of the Admiralty to the heroism
and seamanship displayed by the crew
Of the Parker.
Award Matter for America
The Admiralty, said Mr.. MacNamara,
profoundly appreciates the seaman
ship and very great rallantry displayed
BY the American destroyer Parker" in
rescuing nine survivors OF the Glenart
Castle, which was sunk in the Bristol
Channel late in February. The rescues
included that of the unconscious navi-
eating officer. Two of the destroyer's
complement deserve the greatest credit.
he added. for their action in jumping
overheard 10 effect rescues, in view of
the temperature of the water, the
ehoppy sea and the distance of the raft
from which the rescues were effected.
Is to official recognition of these SER
vices. he stated. the award was not a
matter for the British government, but
for the American authorities.
Seek Way to Honor Americans
1t was urged by Sir J, Fortescue
Flannery that under the custom of the
Board OF Trade. by which foreign
ship was honored with medals or gold
plate the Admiralty might do some
thing OF a similar nature in this con-
neetlon.
Sir Owen Philips, chairman and
managing director of the Union Castle
Line, to which the Glenart Castle be-
longed, announced that his company,
which fully recognized the gallantry
Of these American sailors, already had
approached the American admiral and
asked permission to reward the men,
but. in a very nice letter. the admiral
had said this could not be permitted.
Mr.. MacNamara replied that the Ad-
miralty had expressed its very deep
gratitude for the manner in which the
Americans had dealt with this matter.
He understood that the American au-
thorities were averse to the award of
personal distinctions and honors; new
ertheless, if the Admiralty could prop
erly make any suggestion to them
which would enable it in a substantial
way to emphasize its opinion of this act
Of gallantry, it certainly would do so.
Eight Braved Icy Seas
In all. nine survivors were rescued by
the Parker, of whom one died or board
he destroyer. All were landed in
Wales.

Water IN the course of these rescues, in
