JOINT EFFORT
SINKING OF SCHARNHORST GERMAN SURVIVORS. MANY SUFFER FROM SEA SICKNESS. (British Official 'Wireless.) RUGBY, January 5. “The Scharnhorst was sunk by the joint effort of every ship taking part in the action,” said Commander T. A. K. Maunsell, R.N., Fleet Torpedo Officer on the staff of Admiral Fraser Maunsell, who was on the bridge of the Duke of York throughout the action and was answering the question: “Who sank the Scharnhorst?” One curious sequel to the action, he said, was that a good many of the German survivors who took a passage back on the Duke of York suffered acute sea sickness. “They were a green lot but some had been a good time at sea. Maybe their long sojourn in. harbour had affected them.”
