Survivors of Robin Moor Land After 13 Days Adrift
Thirty five survivors from the torpedoed American steamer Robin Moor were landed from a British rescue vessel in Cape Town after 13 days at sea. Eleven others had already reached Recife. The attack, likely by a German U boat, prompted bandages with German markings and a German accent among the crew. Mundy, the ship's chief officer, described the sinking and the submarine's demand to hand over papers before sinking the vessel in 17 minutes.
