The Admiralty in London at firstwlthheltf commenf"onthc7' enemy claims but later today announced that the bulk of a British convoy had reached port with a loss of but eight ships although it had been battered in thc Atlantic by two uboat attacks and an air assault during a raging storm. A fight with a German surface raider was just missed. Three ships of thc convoy were sunk by torpedoes and four by bombs. One ship, damaged by a bomb, later foundered in the gale. The Admiralty, highly praising the conduct of the men in the convoy, gave credit in large measure for bringing thc majority of the craft through a hazardous situation to Lieut. Commander G. A. Thring in command of thc senior cscortship. The Germans stated that there were forty shpis in thc convoy. MAITLAND CANDIDATE Renominated In Vancouver-Point J.
