To Ease Worries

toward the end and told hun that
I had been figuring our probable
gas consumption and asked him i

gas would weigh SIN pounds a

when that question came up.
IF YOU do. il will leave a per-
feet trail for the Japanese 10
follow back TO the carrier. Use
up the stun in the cans first, of
course, hut save them and dump
them all together. The navy
has been great Ia H.. Let's
show our appreciation in what

6 REGENSBURG
 SAILORS SAVED
II2 Perish as Panic Stricken Crew ScuttIeS
 Ship in Terrific Gale
BY ALFRED E. WALL United States Correspondent With the British War FIeet)

A Northern British Naval Base. May 18. - (DelayeD - (UP)-The panic-stricken crew of the German blockade runner Regensburg set off scuttling charges and caused the deaths of almost the entire ships company when intercepted in Den mark Strait recently by the British cruiser Glasgow.
 CThe Regensburg was one of two Axis ships attempting to break the Allied blockade of the continent which were scuttled after intercep- tion by British warshipS, according to British admiralty communiquG of May IT. The other was the A. 793-ton Silvaplane, which was sent to the bottom 200 miles off Cape Finlsterre, Spain, the entire crew oj the SilVaplane was rescued)
 Aboard the Glasgow today Capt E. M. Evans-Lombe and other of. ficers told the story of how they were able to rescue only six mem. bers of the Regensburg's liz crew.
 q am convinced that the cap. tain, officers and crews of the Reg ensburg must have been completely panic-stricken," Evans-Lombe eX- plained.
 Survivors told how confusion reigned aboard the Regensburg when we intercepted the ship. When we fired a warning shot at the begin ming of the action they said they thought they were being attacked by an airplane. It was sheer mad ness to scuttle the ship in such terrific gale in temperature which was below zero"
 q stop the Regensburg sig nailed after the Glasgow fired the warning shot.
 The Glasgow then signalled the Regensburg to follow her but instead of obeying, scuttling charges were seen to burst out and the crew started leaping overheard into the icy sea in the face of a biting bliz- gard.
 No further signal came from the Regensburg and after a while the Glasgow opened fire with her four IllJll dl ilC . loaded with rubber, did not go down immediately and the Glasgow polished her off with two torpedoes.
 Tn the mountaineous seas it was impossible for the Glasgow to launch boats for rescue operations.
 Only one officer and five ratings were fished from the sea with great difficulty
 Some other members of the Reg cnsburgS crew drifted alongside the Glasgow on floats, but they were already frozen stiff in the intense cold. Those rescued were turned over to military authorities In Ice land
 The Regensburg sailed from Ran goon three months ago.
