Who is to be congratulaled On his rescue in the North Sea after ihe foundering of hii ship. The followins quotation is from one of the men who were 
aboard the Hogue : " A few minutes later we were struck twice. Captain Nicholson, who was on the bridae, was as cool as a cucumber. He gave us the 
word to tip over everything that would float, to take off our clothes, and to look after ourselves. It was done ahip-shape- The Navy rule is 'keep your 
mouth shut and do your job well* We did it. It went off. as you might say, just like evolutions. The ship turned over and we saw the Captain with 
nothing on sliding down the keel into the water."
