Anne Moore Recounts Dramatic Rescue And Aftermath of Athenia Torpedoing By George Fuermann Editor’s note: This is the con cluding article in Fuermann’s se ries of three relating the highlights of iMiss Anne Moore's recent Euro pean tour and her subsequent re turn to the United States aboard the ill-fated Athenia. Previous ar ticles appeared in The Battalions of Saturday, October 7 and Tues day, October 10. • Within an hour after the disas trous torpedoing, all of the stricken Athenia’s survivors were removed in the vessel’s many lifeboats. Of the more than eighty persons in the same boat as Miss Moore, the vast majority were men, thus mak ing it unnecessary for women to do any of the rowing. From the time the passengers and crew entered the lifeboats un til the rescue ship finally arrived, eight hours elapsed—not only a highly uncomfortable eight hours but a dangerous one as well. The ocean was rough and the tremen dous height of the waves made it difficult for the many lifeboats to remain together as they were try ing to do. At the outset everyone began singing and, in an endeavor to choose songs with which everyone was familiar, such songs as “My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean” were sung. Within a short time, how ever, the singing subsided and throughout the remainder of the eight-hour wait no one had much to say, although the group was a well-ordered one. Miss Moore pointed out a note of heroism in describing the stoic calmness of one of the Athenia’s cooks. Although terribly burned, he never uttered one word of com plaint and it was not until the res cue ship arrived that it was realiz ed how much he was suffering. The extreme roughness of the ocean was causing everyone—ship’s officers and crew included—to be come seasick. Occasional flares were sent up to help the lifeboats remain together, and to this end continual rowing was necessary or the lifeboats would have become widely separated. At 4:30 a. m. the morning of September 4 the lights of a rescue ship were sighted and shortly thereafter the survivors boarded the Norwegian ship Knute Nelson. But one more tragedy was yet to occur. One lifeboat, trying to get to the opposite side of the vessel.

The crew of the Knute Nelson did everything in their power to assist the Athenia’s survivors. “They were wonderful to us,” Miss Moore said. “They turned their quarters over to us, gave us their cigarettes and candy, and did ev erything they could to cheer us up.” Several persons, however, died aboard the rescue ship from the eight hour exposure in the life boats and shock. The next morning at 7 o’clock the Knute Nelson sailed for Scotland. Tuesday afternoon, about 3 o’clock, the vessel docked at Galway where the survivors were to remain for two weeks un- -THURSDAY, OCT. 12, 1939 til passage could be arranged back to the United States. One interesting sidelight which Miss Moore pointed out was the ironical appropriateness of the movies showing in Galway at the time of their arrival there. Both American made films, one was “Submarine D-l” and the other was “Submarine Patrol.” On Wednesday, September 29, the survivors returned to the United States aboard the Orizaba which arrived in New York Sep tember 27. A few days later, October 4, Miss Moore arrived home at Col lege Station,—glad to be back but anxious to go again after a short rest.
