grim story of 23 days in an open

of the Britannia and a member of
the party which arrived on the
Brazilian liner Cayru, declined to
discuss the sinking, but the others.
who included Lascar seamen and
Hindu and Moslem merchants,
told this story:
On March 27, en route to Bom
bay from Liverpool, the 8799-ton
Britannia sighted a German raid
ed eight miles away. ."
Although the Britannia had
only a four-inch gun against the
raider's six-inch guns, the Bri
tannia's captain, (believed to
have been Captain Alexander
Collie) decided to fight It out.
The Britannia shot 12 ineffec
tual rounds before she was mor
tally wounded by 70 shots from
the raider. Three hundred passen
gers and 100 crew men crowded
into four open boats. There were
82 in MacVicar's.
Because wind and current fa
vored, MacVicar set his course for
South America, 1,500 miles away
rather than try for Dakar 600
miles distant.
Twenty-three days paaaed
