Description
It is believed that the Germans stopped a torpedo attack because they found German-language material s floating in suitcases thrown from the ship by the British guards. The Germans believed that the ship carried German POWs and thus stopped attacking the ship. Religious people have interpreted this as a miracle. However, the story cannot be corroborated.
