displays only irritation when such

This irritation, apparently, stems
from an acquired distrust OF some

tered submarine, and, sure that 1t
was all over, went home.
The admiralty through the infor-
nation ministry issued o first list
of survivors Of the Courageous tor
pedoing early today. There were
681 names out of an estimated crew
of 1860. That left $40 missing.
It was said that further lists
would be published in due course.
1t was reported that approx
mately 300 additional survivors
would arrive In destroyers and mer-
chant vessels today.
This left O. possible total Of about
462 missing In the first big SUBJ
marine victory over q warship in
the new war.
One Survivors Talks.
One survivor whose name was
withheld was permitted to talk. He
told the United Press that he def
nitely saw British destroyers engage
and sink the submarine which sank
the $20,00o,000 Courageous.
About 80 OF the first survivors
ashore were held at a naval hospi-
tai for treatment. All others were
at once granted IA days leave, issued
complete new kits, and allowed to
go home. Some had arrived ashore
half glad or with their uniforms
torn almost to shreds. One officer
wore only a dressing gown.
One Of the first known survivors
was Comdr. E., NJ. G. Abel Smith
who accompanied King George as
an equerry on his visit to Canada
and the United States. He was call
ed up as q reservist.
The first list did not include Capt
w. T. Mackie-Jones, commanding
the Courageous. He was last seer
on the bridge, issuing orders tc
abandon ship.
