some | & PAGL GH 1HE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MUNDAY, JANUARY 28, 1949 War Hero Made Commander of Australian Squadron London, Jan, 28.--One of the most thrilling episodes in the whole naval history of the war is recall- 8d by the appointment of Rear-Ad- miral Evans to command His Maj- esty"s Australian Squadron, effec- tive March 18 next. Evans, com- mander of the destroyer Broke, achieved wide renown for his part in the checkmating of a ralding German destroyer patrol when for probably the only time in the war there was hand-to-hand fighting at sea, Frequent Raids In 1917 German destroyer pa- trols made frequent raids on Dover Stralts in support of their submar- ines, On April 20 the raiders, who had been proving somewhat troublesome, did not escape edsily. The system of British patrols had been changed since a German at- tack in March, There were two patrols and one of them consisted of the "Broke," Commander Ev- ans, and the "Swift," Commander A. Peck, The German force, con- sisting of the 2nd Flotilla, which comprised their best and fastest boats, was in two sections. One went off to the South and appear- ed off the French coast, The other about six boats, hugged the north- ern shore and fired at the English coast off Dover in an aimless sort of way. The nicht was dark, and at 12.45 a.m. they were on their way home about 3 m., East of the South Goodwins on an easterly course when they were sighted on the port how about 600 yards off, by the "Swift" and Broke," steers ing an opposite course. There was no challenging, The "Swift" fired a torpedo, put her helm hard a-starboard and attempt- ed to ram, but passed through the enemy's line and went off in pur- suit of the leader. The "Broke' fired a torpedo, turned hard to port and crashed into G42, the 3rd boat in line. A hand-to-hand fight ensued in the darkness with Ger- man hoarders, who were driven back by the fo'c'sle gun's crew led by Midshipman Donald Gyles. The i "Broke's" engines were disabled by a shell, but she shook herself clear and completed the destruc: tion of another destroyer, G85, al- ready disabled by one or both of the torpedoes previously fired. The reserve division which had put to sea from Dover, only arrived in time to help pick up the German survivors. This ended the raid of April 20, which made the "Broke" and Commander Evans famous, and with the exception of two ineffec- tual sorties on April 25 and May 2, when the Germans shelled Dune kirk and Ramsgate, stopped such ventures for nearly a year, Rear-Admiral Evans will now have under his command the two new 10 000 ton cruisers, H.M.A.S, Australia, and H.M.A.S. Canberra: the light cruisers Adelaide and Brisbane; the seanlane carrier Al- batross and flotilla leader Anzac, two gubmarines beine comnleted, and 11 small destrovers.

"I have not long to live," she told friends who called- on her Christmas Day and fourd her in the little Inaian reser- vation church. But her friends are optimistic. Old Mary has heen saying that she has not long to live for many years, they claim, and her resignation to an early death -is belied by her wanderings. For Mary Capilano and her canoe have been a familiar spee- tacle in Vancouver harbor for years. In sunshne and rain, storm and calm, she may be seen navigat- ing her frail dugout canoe skilful- ly throuh swirling tide rips of the narrows. And that's how she met the fairy godfather who despatch- ed Santa Claus on the long trip from England. Met Benefactor It was one day last August that the aged Cinderella met her bene- factor.
