THE CAPTAIN TALKS
NEW ORLEANS TO LONDON
Australian Press Association.
. LONDON, 28th March. In tho course of an Atlantic tele, phone conversation, Captain Bandell, from the Planter Hotel, New Orleans, told the "Daily Express": "We know what people ii. Old England would think when they heard we had been sunk in open seas. The crew are a wonderful lot. They're all damned angry at the treatment received before the ship was sunk. The men shouted:' 'To hell with them, captain. Let the blighters sink us. We have got to die some time, and by God, well die under the British flag.' Ido not suppose there are any decorations for my crowd, but they won their honours. I got mine in the war. The Yankees never gave us anything like as fair a chance as we got in war-time."
