A German luxury liner was

crew, picked up from lifeboatS after
Captain Wilhelm Baehne had order
ed the sea cocks opened and the
Columbus set on fire. The TuSca-
looSa was conveniently close when
a British destroyer came boiling
over the horizon and bore down
upon the third largest ship in the
German merchant marine. Before
the British warship could attack,
however, the Columbus was a blaze
of flame.
When the Tuscaloosa turned its
sleek prov toward New York the
Columbus was blazing from bow
to poop and the British destroyer
was standing grimly by, watching
the Viking funeral.
Because of discrepancies in fig
ures, there was some fear expressed
in Washington that some lives had
been lost. The master of the Tusca-
loosa reported briefly that only two
men were missing, and that $40 sur
vivors had been picked up. The

ported, however, that $50 were
aboard. No mention was made in

He asked authorities at the Ho-

protest to Argentina against intern
