The only real casualty of the day’s melee was a Carl Crowley, one of the strike captains, who suffered a slight wound in his right thigh from a bayonet.
He was prodded a little too vigorously by a soldier when he was slow to obey a command to move on. Although the wound bled considerably, doctors a the Police Emergency Hospital discharged him after cleansing the injury . They said there should be no complications.
I like how the clothing store advertisement includes that it’s “air-conditioned”.

“Eventual rescue
When the Robin Moor was stopped, the Germans had forbidden the ship’s crew to touch their wireless, but after the sinking U-69’s captain Jost Metzler reportedly promised the ship’s crew to radio their position. Yet nearly two weeks passed before any of her four lifeboats of survivors were discovered. As President Roosevelt would later state in a message to Congress regarding the sinking, the survivors were “accidentally discovered and rescued by friendly vessels.” The lifeboat containing the captain and 10 others was rescued on 8 June after 18 days, and taken to Brazil. The occupants of that boat presumed that the remaining crew and passengers were lost, but they later learned that the three lifeboats containing the others had been discovered by chance on June 2, 13 days after the sinking, and taken to South Africa. Remarkably, all of the crew and passengers were rescued. One rescued crew member, however, later jumped overboard apparently due to the lingering effects of the ordeal, and drowned.”
