London, Feb. 15.
Five men are believed to be missing from the London oil-tanker British Triumph (8,501 tons), which capsized after an explosion in the North Sea. Twenty-one members of the crew landed at a port on the East Coast, and a further 21 at another port.
A wireless operator, 16 years old, related how twice in two months he had been rescued from oil tankers sunk by explosions. This was only Lis second voyage on a big boat, and on each occasion he had been shipwrecked.
The British Triumph was stated to have been attacked by enemy aircraft in the Great Yarmouth roadstead two weeks ago—Reuter.
