The

concedes
the
loss,
either
by

or

of
H.M.S.
Ex-mouth,
another
1100-ton
destroyer
of
the

There
was
a
crew
of
200
who
are
all
feared
to
have
been
lost.
No
indication
was
given
officially
as
to
whrrc
the
Exmouth
might
have
been
lost
but
it
is
believed
probable
to
have
been
in

It

the
fifth

jthat
the

a
hoax
or
possibly
a
dramatised
radio

based
on
a
