sufficient power was recovered
and the carrier worked up a speed

- i
LONDON, May 18—The British
cruiser H.M.S. Curacao was cut in
j half by the giant liner Queen
Mary which was speeding to elude
a German submarine, sank in the
Atlantic ocean October 1, 1942 j
with a loss of 338 officers and |
men.
The Admiralty said an eyewit- |
ness said the big troop transport,
carrying fifteen thousand Ameri
can troops toward Scotland “sim
ply trampled” the 4200 ton cruis
er, with a normal complement of
400 men.
The accideift is considered one
of the worst in British Naval dis
asters. The War Admiralty dis
closed also for the first time the
loss of ten destroyers, eight subs,
and scores of smaller craft.
The Queen Mary, eighty-four
thousand tons, collided with the
cruiser aproximately twenty miles
off the Irish coast.
