HEROES IN HOME TOWN
Crew of Trawler Girl Pat
London, June 21'.
Whatever may be the legal position, Grimsby residents regard the crew of the trawler Girl Pat, which was captured yesterday off British Guiana, as heroes, and are preparing a welcome for the skipper, Captain Osborne, who is hailed as a.fearless and skilled navigator who conquered the Atlantic with a sixpenny atlas. Mrs. Osborne was overjoyed to receive a message: “O.K. See you all soon. Love. Dad.” She said: “This •is the happiest day of my life. No matter why my husband went away, he is forgiven. All I care about is that he is alive and well.” A movement has been started to raise a fund for the crew and their families.
Sir Walter Womersley, M.P. for Grimsby, is getting in contact with the Foreign Office and the Board of Trade with a view to the early return of the crew.
The “News of the World” understands that neither the police, Lloyd’s, nor the Board of Trade contemplates action against the crew.
