to read about the 1942 bombing and sinking of the
S.S. Raceland (Howick Hall) and the aftermath. The story is the
kind contribution of Leif Myrhoej from Fejoe, Denmark. His uncle,
Eskild Ditlev Lauth, was one of the crew, but, unfortunately,
not one of the 12 survivors.

"My name is Mary I. Floyd, widow of K. Lawrence Floyd. We were passengers on the Steel Rover enroute to Indonesia the day we were fired on from somewhere? outside of Hong Kong. We were standing on deck with another passenger who was a State Dept. employee. We thought we were the targets in our white clothes. Our ship returned to Hong Kong and left the next day with a British Navy escort. We were carrying cargo of jeeps to Indo China, which we thought was the reason for the gunfire. Apparently they were just playing around, but made the mistake of firing on the British destroyer, which fired back and ended their fun! When we arrived in Saigon, we were escorted overhead and also had Foreign Legion soldiers on board the 4 hours (I think) up the river to Saigon. I am now 91 years old but that is a day I haven't forgotten!" |
