YOUNG WOMAN SENT TO PRISON. At North Shields Police Court today, Ellen Healy, a young woman, was charged with having stolen a pair of boots, value 5s, the property of David Borthwick, 6 Church Way, on Dec. 31. Hannah Borthwick, sister of the prosecutor, said that the accused lodged with her for three weeks. On Dec. 31st witness left the house at 6 pm, returning the following morning. The prisoner had gone and the boots were missing. Further evidence showed that the accused pledged the boots on the 31st Dec., telling the pawnbroker that the last witness had sent her, and that she was arrested at Newcastle. Accused, who belongs to Houghton-le-Spring, made her 5th appearance and the Chief Constable (Mr J.H. Huish) said he had received information that her father would not allow her in the house on account of her bad character. The accused pleaded guilty, cried bitterly, and promised to behave better in future. She was sent to prison for 14 days."

Tenk deg at du er midt i en storm på et stort tankskip – og uten forvarsel rives skipet i to. For mannskapet om bord på det norske tankskipet «Vardefjell» ble julen 1942 noe som overgår ethvert filmmanus.
