Bomber vs. Sailing Ship
These scenes look as if they were from wars of early colonial days, but
actually this picturesque sailing vessel is the victim of German bombers,
according to the information accompanying these German official pic
tures. Top, the ship lists heavily after being struck by the explosives.
Lower, she prepares to plunge to the bottom. Hard-pressed for ships,
Britain uses even suiting vessels to break Germany's counter-blockade.

However, Hooper's letter reveals
a strange story. It tells of a people
who seemed to welcome the enemy.
He told Governor Nash that the
! people acted as though they were in
perfect security. Imagine an invad
ing army knocking at a community's
door ,and there being no evidence of
a panic. There was no preparation ,
for resistance. The citizens were not;
removing their families to distant j
places. William Hooper complained (
that "the general elemency which'
had marked Gene ral Clinte>n's suc
cess" was influencing the minds of
the people. He- was afraid e?f this
kindness, for he was certain that his
neighbors would not fight with vim
and determinatie>n against a con-,
queror who was kind. If the British
generals were feared because of
their cruelty. Hooper thought the
colonists would be* more determined
to hold back the invaders
William Hooper, being a Revolu

for him to await the arrival ot Brit

pleased by an opportunity of living
