British Refugee Children Arrive in New York
About 350 British refugee children arrived in New York aboard the Samarra Sassania following 71 earlier arrivals on the Scythia. Most accompanied by parents, with residences arranged, and ages from babies to teens. Refugee aid volunteers intensified a nationwide relief push as air raid alarms were common but few had faced actual bombing. A destroyer and seaplane escorted the Samarra out to sea, while the Arandora Star was diverted for aid.
