Lloyd's Medal for Bravery at Sea 'The ship was torpedoed without warning and at once began to settle by the stern. The Radio Officer sent out an S.O.S. signal, and the Master, who was on the Bridge, telegraphed 'Finished with Engines', the signal to those below to go to Boat Stations. The Master, seeing his ship was fast sinking, ordered all boats to get well clear except one which was to stand by to pick up the Radio Officer and himself. The Radio Officer continued to broadcast S.O.S. signals and the Master tried to drag him from his instrument, seeing that the water was over the after end of the Board Deck and there was a danger of the boilers bursting at any moment. Mr. Windsor would not leave until he was sure his signals had been received. As the ship was going down the Master dived overboard, as he could do no more. On being hauled into the lifeboat he looked back and saw the Radio Officer dive to the side of the vessel, which was standing on her stern, and slide down a rope just as the ship sank. The deck cargo of heavy barrels broke loose, and as no boat could have lived in the whirlpool the Master waited for it to go down before picking up the Radio Officer from the wreckage more dead than alive. The Radio Officer's gallant efforts brought to the scene three Destroyers, which rescued all the crew and destroyed the Submarine'.
