The price of Admiralty

1 Jan 1941

True Tales of The Navy The price of Admiralty By COMMANDER A. B. CAMPBELL, R.D., of the B.B.C. 'Brains Trust' Minesweeper making port— at dusk—and they've had no sleep to speak of for four days. A plane looms up—drops to 50 ft. and lets go two bombs. One hits the funnel. The other explodes in the coal in the after hold. Which seems lucky at the time, for the coal absorbs the worst of the blow- and Grimsby trawlers are made to take hard knocks. But the third bomb blows her stern right off, and she sinks.
