Distinguished flying crosses were

While flying at less than 500 feet
altitude miles east of Mitchell
Field, he realized a forced landing
was inevitable unless he dropped
his bombs to tighten the load, but
the plane was flying over a thickly
populated area.
Although he could have landed
the plane in street or a vacant
lot, he dived into a gravel pit he
spotted, thus sacrificing himself
and crew to avoid the possible kill

The courage and heroisrn dis
played by 1t. Van Eeuwen and

St. Lawrence Boat Guns
Unnamed, Gunner Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MONTREAL, May 15.-A rescued
gunner of one of the two vessels
known torpedoed in the st. Law
renee River Monday night said the
U-boat attacks were so unexpected
in presumably safe inland waters
that the guns were not manned.
The submarine was out to get as
many ships as it could" said the
captain, whose identity was with
held. After it fired its torpedo into
our ship it was still within hunting
distance of other vessels. 1t would
seem entirely likely to me that a
third ship might have been sunk"
Naval authorities said there was
no indication of a third sinking.
The Naval gunner indicated that
the attacked ships were outward
bound. He said:
I'VE had no gunners on watch
the night we were sunk. We never
used watches in the st. Lawrence
River, and we were only due to start
them the morning after we we're
sunk"
He and the captain were among
81 survivors of their ship, from
which one man was lost through
death by exposure and II were
missing.
OF the missing the captain said
they can still be alive only through
Il miracle"
Six other persons we're belatedly
reported missing from the other
ship known to have been sunk That
made a total of one dead and II
missing.
