VICTIM OF TORPEDO
NORWEGIAN TANKER MINE STORY UNTRUE (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Nov. 22. A German broadcaster from the Deutschlandsender announced that the Finnish steamer Arne Kjode had been sunk near Denmark by a floating British mine. The truth is quite otherwise.
According to a number of naval books, the Arne Kjode was a Norwegian tanker. She was not sunk by a mine but was torpedoed by a German U-boat. She was sunk not of! Denmark but north-west of the Orkneys, and the survivors and crew were landed in the Orkneys and on the west coast of Scotland.
