ONE
OP
ATLANTIC'S
WORST
COLLISION
TRAGEDIES-
-Submarines
had
no
part
In
this
fire,
although
the
tanker
was
a
victim
of
the
Battle
or
the
Atlantic.
She
was
burned
after
a
collision
at
sea,
an
ever-present
wartime
danger
of
darkness,
fog,
storm
and
the
necessary
absence
of
navigation
lights
and
signals.
Apart
from
sinkings
by
the
enemy,
this
was
one
of
the
worst
Atlantic
tragedies.
Her
gasoline
caught
fire
after
the
collision,
burning
up
the
deckload
of
lighter
aircraft.
When
the
fire
died
down,
the
tanker,
19
bodies
and
a
few
survivors
were
brought
in
to
Bay
Bulls
harbor
in
Newfoundland.
But
the
gasoline
and
the
aircraft
were
lost.
The
time:
1942,
when
every
aircraft
and
shipload
of
gasoline
was
worth
more
than
Its
weight
in
human
lives.

Political
observers
speculated
today
whether
General
Charles
De

will
resign
as
head
of
the
French
provisional

as
a
result

the
sharp
rebuff
administred
to
him
last
night
by
the
Consultative
Assembly
which
rejected
overwhelmingly
his
plans
for
a
con

referendum.
The
assembly
defeated
210
to

the
government's
proposal
to

during

elections
to
determine
whether
the
electorate
favored
a
return
to
the
republic's

constitution.
However,
the

actions
are
binding
