Sam Greene; secretary of the CAL

S. Hood, biggest Warship in the
world.
The Hood blew up and sank with
most of her complement (normally
1,341 mem off Greenland, accord
ing to the admiralty, but the crack
new German battleship Bismarck
suffered damage and the British
warships are pursuing the German
squadron.
CAT Berlin, it was disclosed that
the Bismarck was the German ship
that sank the Hood)
The only other battleship lost by
the British in the war was the
Royal Oak, 29,150 tons, torpedoed
at Scapa Flow on Oct. IA, 1899, by
German submarine commanded
by Lieut.. Commdr. Guenther Prien
now listed as lost by the Germans
OTHER LOSSES
The British also have lost the
aircraft carriers Courageous, 22,500
tons, and the Glorious, 22,50O tons
The cruisers Effingham, Calypso
CurleW, Southampton and Bone
venture also have been lost by the
British.
Except for the Effingham, 9.770
tons, all of the cruisers were of
5000 tons or less. '
The $29,OO0,0O0 Hood had a speed
of 80 knots and under command
of Vice-Admiral Lancelot E. Holland
apparently had led British squad
ron into the north Atlantic to in
tercept the German warships.
They attacked the Nazi raiders,
apparently between Greenland and
Iceland, but according to the Brit
ish closer to the Greenland coast.
Presumably, that was what the
British navy was hoping to do
catch the fast new German war
craft far out at sea with British
forces that were capable of the
same speed
"UNLUCKY HIT"
Whether the Nazis turned out to
be stronger than expected (the Bis
marck guns are about as heavy as
those of the Hoo6 was not known,
but the admiralty described the
magazine hit that sank the Hood
as "unlucky'.
The German communique des-
cribed the Nazi warships as battle
squadron, indicating considerable
strength, and said that one British
battleship turned away after the

The Good Old Days

The Good Old Days
Two small copper tubes were
found protruding from the floor
in the bathroom of a house on
Fourth street when G. L. Collins
and his crew were in the midst OF
WSecking operations.
At first the workmen were only
mildly interested, but they became
curious when there was no ap-
parent explanation. They followed
the two tubes down through floor
post and into the ground, Buried
beneath the surface was a barrel!
Now, your guess is as good as
RRs as what the barrel was once
used for. Evidently it was a Stor-
age place and obviously a cache.
What liquid refreshment would a
chap most likely want to hide, not
now but ten years ago?
Collins wouldn't say who used to
frequent that house.
The relic really should go to the
Pioneers Museum.
