London, July THE body of
Capt. Charles Fryatt, executed in
1916 by the Germans for attempting
to ram submarine, was brought to
Dover today aboard a British de-
stroyer escorted by vessels of the
Dover Patrol.
The casket on a gun carriage was
drawn solemnly from the destroyer
to the railway station accompanied
by naval escort and civil authc ri
ties. The casket was placed in the
station under a military guard for
the night. 1t will be taken by train
tomorrow to London where national
memorial services will be held at st.
Peters cathedral.
The case Of Capt. Fryatt has been
classed with that of Edith Cavell,
the British nurse who was executed
by the Germans. Capt. Fryatt was
commander of the British steamer
Wrexham on March %. 1915, when
the German submarine U-33 order-
ed the Wreham to stop near the
Mas lightship. Capt. Fryatt, acting
as he afterward said under orders of
the British Admiralty, attempted to
ram the submarine. The German
u-boat narrowly escaped by diving.
His exploit was hailed in England as
a brilliant one and no attempt was
made to keep his identity a secret.
Instead the British Admiralty gave
him gold watch for his "brave con-
duct" and he was mentioned in the
House of Commons. Thus the Ger
mans learned the identity of the
mariner who had attempted to, sink
their submarine.
More than a year afterward, on
June "a, 1915, Capt. Fryatt was can
tured by the Germans, together with
the steamer Brussels which he was
plotting from Rotterdam to Tilbury.
German warships took the Brussels
into zeebrugge.
