SAVED FROM SEA TERROR.—Pathetic scenes were witnessed at Galway when 430 survivors from the Athenia, rescued by the Norwegian tanker Knute Nelson, were landed at Galway. They were survivors of Germany’s submarine outrage, and many heartrending stories were told by those saved from the sea terror. As they were brought down the gangway from the tender some of the women passengers were insensible; some were injured. Parents anxiously sought their children; children cried for their parents; and Galway stood by to assist the scantily-clad passengers after their ordeal. A soldier, anxiously superintended by its mother, carries a baby down the gangway; two other women passengers follow.
