M.Ps. Praise Safe. For Sparing Bremen
The respect for the rules of war shown by the commander of the British submarine, who refrained from the only hostile action open to him, namely, the torpedoing of the Bremen without regard for life, was the subject of comment in the House of Lords and House of Commons. In both Houses, Opposition speakers commended the behaviour of the commander.
The Admiralty announces that the naval trawler William Hallett (202 tons) has been sunk by a mine. There was one survivor.
The British tanker San Alberto (7300 tons) has been damaged by enemy action off the south-west coast of England. One man is still missing. The German radio claimed on Wednesday that the San Alberto had been torpedoed.
