MERCANTILE MARINE.
QUIET COURAGE
(British Official AVireless.) LONDON, Sept. 23
Among stories illustrating the quiet courage and indomitable spirit of British merchant seamen are the remarks of a British Missions to Seamen chaplain, who writes: “So far from submarine warfare deterring our .seamen from going to sea, it has 'had the opposite effect. Their one desire when they get ashore after being torpedoed is to get another ship. Their spirit is the same as in 1914-18.'’
The names of 512 officers and men o f H.M.S. Courageous who are believed to have lost their lives on war service were published by the Admiralty tonight. They, include her commander. Captain Makeig Jones, who went down with his ship.
