An item dated London, England 10th reported that no new tidings were received about the German raider (1) which according to the news a day earlier reported battled with the British cruiser HMS Enterprise.(2) The newspaper already thought it could be false rumours.
Notes
1 The Thor also known in the German navy as the HSK-4 and Schiff 10, but by the British Royal Navy as Raider E. In 1938 built as the merchant vessel Santa Cruz for the Oldenburg Portuguese Line (OPDR) by the Deutsche Werft, Hamburg, Germany in 1938, acquired by the Kriegsmarine in 1939, commissioned in March 1940 as the Thor and lost when fire broke while lying in the harbour of Yokohama, Japan on 30 November 1942.
2. The Emerald-class light cruiser HMS Enterprise, laid down by John Brown Shipbuilding&Engineering Company Lt., Clydebank, Scotland with yard number 484 on 28 June 1918, launched on 23 December 1919, commissioned on 7 April 1925, decommissioned on 13 January 1946 and arrived at the Cashmore’s yard, Newport, Wales on 21 April 1946 to be broken up. Together with the HMS Cumberland and Newcastle she indeed search for the Thor but fruitless.
