London, Dec. 23.
Fifteen men, members of the crew of the trawler Dromio which sank yesterday evening off the Yorkshire toast following a collision with the Italian ship Valentine, were landed at a port in north-eastern England today.
The fisherman related that last Sunday, while heading for -Hull after a fishing trip, they were sighted by some German aeroplanes which dropped a great number of bombs, none of which hit the trawler, Failing in this attempt, the planes then flew very low and proceeded to machinegun the ship. Again, however, they were unsuccessful and none of the crew was injured.—Havas.
