man seamen from scuttling their
vessel.
Progress of the scuttling opera
tion, however, had advanced too
far, and the Van KinSbergen crew
was forced to assist the German
crew in abandonment of the ship.
Burning both fore and aft, the
Rhein sank.
Before sinking, with the U.S.S.
MacLeish standing by in an OBJ
servatory capacity, an unnamed
British cruiser hove into sight
and circled all ships on the scene.
Pulling up broadside to the
Rhein, several shots were fired
into the burning German ship,
speeding its destruction.
Dispatches yesterday, from Lon
don, stated that the Dutch ship
had captured the Rhein. Com
mander Bakers story this morn
ing, however, brought out the er-
rOr of that report
Following the sinking of the
Rhein, a number of life boats
which had been cut adrift while
the ship was on fire, were de-
Stroyed by the MacLeish person
mel. The boats were of steel con-
struction and powerful axe blows
were necessary to cut holes.
One report had it that MacLeish
gunners trained machine guns on
the small boats to sink them. Com
mander Baker stated this was not
so, with the exception of one
boat which, at the time, was a
considerable distance from the de-
stroyer. Even that boat was later
destroyed by axes. The small boat
sinkings were necessary, it was
stated, as they were a hazard to
navigation in the rea.

the torpedo sinking of heavily

The sinking incident, though COM

disclosed one of the first clues of the
