WRECKAGE OF THE SEAS
AFTER TEMPTING THE CLAWS OF THE BRITISH LION
This vessel, the German torpedo boat destroyer V-69, stole out of harbor one evening in company with
eleven other sister ships. After a brisk engagement with the British light sea forces, the V-69 was disabled,
and forced to put in for repairs at the harbor of Ymuiden, Holland, near Amsterdam.

WAITING FOR RESCUE-OR DEATH
Crowded together on a flimsy raft, these survivors of the torpedoed Cunard liner Ivernfh, faced the buffeting
of the icy Mediterranean Sea for twenty-two hours before they were rescued by a trawler. Of the
remainder of the crew and passengers, one hundred fifty-three perished.
