Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Odyssey of a Torpedoed Transport
The boat was doing ten knots and a bittock. But at the end of three days our engine started racing like the very devil. The propeller shaft broke off short about a yard from the thrust block. We must have run into a sub merged spar which had fouled the screw. It wouldn't surprise me if a chunk of the propel ler had gone to the bottom.
