Owing to the Druids’ Hall being engaged on Friday next, Miss Audrey Hughes-Johnston will hold her junior dancing classes in the Wesleyan Hall. Senior classes will be held in the Druids’ Hall in the evening, as usual. In the course of an interview with a Daily Tinies reporter, a Yeoman of Signals on H.M.S. Dunedin said that during the war the small trawling vessels carried bombs and a machine gun, and were ostensibly engaged in trawling. While off Yarmouth on one occasion a drifting trawler was hailed by a German submarine which had come to the surface. Some of the crew stood on the submarine’s deck, and asked the trawler if she had any fish. The reply was “No,” and the Germans then asked the fishermen if they had any tobacco, and the reply was in the affirmative. Bending down in the trawler one of the crew picked up a packet, supposedly containing tobacco, which he threw on to the submarine. Exit the enemy.
