Pooped aboard HMS Artful
I woke up, as one did in boats and rushed to the Asdic Office in the Control Room. The boat managed to surface and the lower lid opened. Here, once again I must explain that Lt Peter Fenton (the CO) had been in his cabin which was situated between the lower hatch of the conning tower and the upper hatch. This placed the cabin outside the pressure hull. He had the ultimate wake up call - his cabin flooding. He was OK and assisted with gaining access to the bridge. There they found young Fenwick wrapped around the 'standards' and no sign of S/Lt Stothers. Fenwick must have had a rope around his waist. S/Lt Stothers would not have suffered in these waters - practically death within seconds.
