British Destroyers Hunt Subs,
Guard Convoys, Rescue Survivors
BY DREW MIDDLETON
ABOARD A BRITISH D E
STROYER IN THE NORTH AT
LANTIC — (Correspondence of the
Associated Press).—A pinpoint of
light winked on the horizon. The
lookout bellowed. The captain mut
tered into the speaking tube to the
engine room.
The light British destroyer on
which I was taken for a North
Atlantic submarine hunt swung
over to port and vibrated with
new life as her engines drove her
ahead at 25 knots while waves
broke over her bow and spray
splattered the bridge, the funnels
and the gun deck crews.
The captain, in wadded jacket
and oil-skins, put down his glass
and said wearily:
“More survivors.”
There were nine of them in the
tiny lifeboat which had been sight
ed. Three men worked the oars
feebly. One sat stolidly at the
tiller. Five sprawled limp. One
man’s arm was bandaged crudely.
“Greeks,” the boats wain’s mate
shouted to the bridge as they came
aboard. “Been in the boat about
two days.”
The destroyer left the empty
lifeboat bobbing in the gunmetal
colored sea.
The Greek captain, his face
white in the starlight, came onto
the bridge. He wore slippers, cot
ton pants, an undershirt, a fur
cap and a life preserver.
His steamer, he said, fell be
hind a convoy and was torpedoed
by a submarine.
( “The German,” the Greek said,
“he shelled us as we get away.”
There were 19 others in his crew.
Where were they? The captain
shrugged and spat expressively in
to the sea.
Then he hrightened and asked
• uddenly:
“What are we doing to the Ital
ians now?”
As he went below, the destroyer
turned again to the unending chase
of the elusive undersea raiders
striking from Axis bases from the
Arctic circle to the bay of Biscay
in a drive to break the British
lifeline.
The prime duty of the destroyer
is to convoy merchantmen. She
had just guarded one huge convoy
far out into the northern Atlantic
and brought another, equally large,
safe to port.
As these convoys plow through
the sea, destroyers course like
hunting dogs through the wind
whipped waves around them,
watching through binoculars, lis
tening through submarine detect
ors, checking reports of subma
rines from scouting airplanes.
And on such duty, picking up
survivors is an old story4
A considerable percentage of the
crew of the cold, damp destroyer
which fights the storm-lashed sea
like a living thing are reservists
called from factories and offices
of England's big cities.
A year ago, they were pale green
as the destroyer pitched and rolled
—but now they are old hands.
They tell how during a three
day blow they could eat nothing
except sandwiches because the
seas ran so high the cook couldn't
use the galley to prepare food. |
The ship’s doctor tells of tying!
himself to a pipe and lashing a1

patient to anotner to set a sailor s
broken arm during a storm.
John, who works the anti-air
craft range finder, is typical of
the crew. He’s 19, looks .like a
high school boy—but he worked
33 hours without sleep at Dun
kerque.
The captain looks like Buc New
som, the Detroit baseball pitcher;
won the distinguished service cross
at Dunkerque; never quits the
bridge while his ship is at sea;
grabs an hour or two of sleep
when he can, doesn’t take time
lo shave, and lives on sandwiches
and tea. ' 5
